REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 20-Jul-2005) This is one of
the strangest movies I have ever watched. I did like the commentaries
by the game show hosts and other celebrities who knew him. The insights
into his crazy mind were interesting. I sincerely doubt he was a CIA
agent. Though those facts couldn't be verified considering it was the
CIA. The movie doesn't make me want to go out and buy the book or even
read the book. I am curious about his life and wonder how much of it is
in fact true. I give it two stars because it wasn't so bad I wanted to
change the station. I also felt somewhat compelled to watch the movie
just to see what was going to happen next. Since I was at home viewing
the movie on the television, it wasn't going to be horrible if I
switched stations or left the room.
Do you know something we don't?
