Finder's Fee (2001)

Very interesting find

I was looking through the On Demand on my digital cable and found this and it seemed interesting. I thought it may be very contrived and formulaic but interesting, and what the hell-I was bored. I was drawn into it instantly and cringed as it became more and more intense. I almost just wanted to turn it off and just say to myself-- he got the ticket and everything worked out. As he(Tepper) kept hiding his ticket and sympathy went back and forth between Avery and everyone else I wasn't sure what the good guy was.

I started to realize there weren't any good guys and liked it more because it was more like real life than many movies out today. THe twist ending at the end was great and the acting was superb. It was no Big Kahuna or Glengarry Glen Ross like someone else mentioned, but it was good for what it was. I look forward to see what else Jeff Probst has up his sleeve. It was enjoyable-- that is what the critics need to remember-- if it keeps you watching until the end to see what happens it did its job.
