Sorry people but...
Having gone to school in Vegas and being an actual runner this movie was a huge disappointment. When I found out that they had actually made the movie I thought this would be a pretty cool movie to view. How wrong could I have been? There was nothing in this movie that was even remotely accurate. If they had done ANY research in this movie they could have put together and interesting film however they chose to make one of the dumbest movies ever made in the history of film. I can normally live with a little artistic license but at least be a LITTLE accurate.
STUPID and LAME. Don't bother watching this film.
