SuperDCM+December 27, 2024
SuperDCM+December 27, 2024This is an American biographical film with a well-crafted narrative, solid performances, and good production value. However, it misses the satirical edge that is often characteristic of this genre. It's like a fancy fastfood burger with no substance.

thbzcrt_7December 27, 2024This is basically a story of someone using the power of real estate to slowly take over a brand that isn’t his. Honestly, if the second half hadn’t felt so much like The Social Network, I’d probably rate it higher.

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024This movie should really be called "The Thief". The whole story is about him stealing everything—names, designs, management ideas, wives, speeches, and even milk in milkshakes!

wslaughterAugust 28, 2025Básicamente, es la historia de alguien usando el poder del sector inmobiliario para lentamente apoderarse de una marca que no es suya. Honestamente, si la segunda mitad no se sintiera tanto como La red social, probablemente le daría una mejor calificación.

Ricardo-bebeAugust 28, 2025Esta película realmente debería llamarse "El Ladrón". Toda la historia trata de cómo roba todo: nombres, diseños, ideas de gestión, esposas, discursos, ¡e incluso la leche de los batidos!
