Directed by Oscar© winner Stephen Gaghan, the film stars Oscar© winner Matthew McConaughey and Golden Globe© nominees Edgar Ramirez and Bryce Dallas Howard.
During 120 minutes, ambition is the most important feeling for each character. The story is time jumped back to the late 80s. This is where humanity reflects betrayal, ambition and even fraud. The Indonesia sequences, filmed in Thailand are awesome with good photography and ambience.
