Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMatthew McConaughey said he shaved his head, gained 45 pounds and wore false teeth to make himself even uglier than usual for the character. He claimed he gained the weight by eating cheeseburgers and drinking lots of beer and milk shakes.
- GoofsWhen Mike Acosta explains the tectonic plates rubbing and grinding up on each other, he mentions that they do this under "Six trillion kilobytes of pressure" which is incorrect. Pressure is measured in kilo-pascals not kilobytes.
- Quotes
Kenny Wells: The guy who invented the hamburger was smart. But the guy who invented the cheeseburger... Genius.

Featured review
All that shines ... no wait, that's not it
Based on a real story and what a story it is. It's about the pitfalls of working hard for your success, but while focusing on the big picture forgetting about smaller details. And it's being made clear early on in the movie, that something will happen. And still the attention the movie demands is high. It's not like you will outright know where this is going (unless you know the original story that is of course).
Matthew is playing Gold league in this (no pun intended). His performance is central, because you have to feel the urge and determination the character feels. You may not always understand his motives or why he keeps on chasing that dream. But that's character trait for you. Being focused on one thing can easily be called a negative thing. If you can't see anything else around it. Of course, if you are fixated that will happen eventually, but not until you either achieve what you set out to do or crash very badly. Or maybe both? Well that's for you to find out, if you like your drama slow paced and unnerving, but as gripping as it gets
