The coordinates written down at the end of the movie are supposed to be at a point in Peru, but there is no point in Peru far enough South where 19°22'32.0" S would be an accurate coordinate.

Retainment Officer: [at the podium] I have the honor today to introduce you to Retired Captain William Miller. He's been everywhere in the world you all wanna go, and a bunch of places you don't. I've asked him to come and talk to you all today at this important crossroad in your careers. I'm gonna step out so this conversation can be frank and to the point.

User Reviews

Great potential, unused.

I'm a huge fan of Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac. So, this movie was a must watch for me.

Character building was kinda okay. The Director could have improvised on it and made the characters more interesting by going deeper. Sometimes you feel like, is this person really who I think he is, essentially confusing us about the whole motive.

The Thrill factor, well the things that happen in the movie were either obvious or confusing. When the Movie is in the momentum of giving us chills, it suddenly stops and takes a downhill.

The Actors were SPLENDID. But, an Actor can only do what the Director tells him/her. The Direction was meh...

A ton of things in the movie could be improved. The Director only gives us a quick glance at details and immediately cuts to unnecessary talking. But loved the Concept of the movie, Greed, especially for Money.

Disappointed. Expected more. 5 stars for the 5 actors and 1 star for teaching us what greed for money can do to us.
