What it's about

An inventor of a secret process suddenly finds himself alone as both his friends and the corporation he works for turn against him.

The take

Can you imagine Steve Martin in a serious role? If not, you seriously need to watch this movie! More plot twists than an Agatha Christie novel, so many that my son had to watch it again the minute it was over. Not a lot of special effects, but this is a seriously complex mystery drama that is incredibly (believe-it-or-not) family friendly, with absolutely minimal language or violence. No one is as they seem... I won't even begin to try to explain why... just watch and wait to be stumped and stunned!
