Factual errors: The coin found in the deposit box is a Peace Dollar which was minted 1921-1935 though the narrative says that it's a 1864 dollar which would be a Seated Liberty Dollar, very distinctively different from the coin shown.

The List is excellent

Those that have read Robert Whitlow's book by the same name will love this movie. The adaptation went straight for the reason why the book is a bestseller. But even having read it, the movie had some unpredictable moments. Hilarie Burton has you loving the character of Jo Johnson from the start and it is easy to see why Renny falls in love. Malcolm McDowell plays the perfect Larrochette, the leader of the List, so impressed with "true power". And Will Patton has a powerful scene. Chuck Carrington was a believable Renny in his first starring role. You will definitely identify with him and pull for him to successfully negotiate the pitfalls of the List. I was also impressed with Tim Ware as one of the List members. This film has the flavor of a legal thriller. At the end, you will take away something that stays in your soul. This was an excellent movie which I would go to again when it gets released later this summer. Gary Wheeler (Director)has done it again.
