David Benioff tells us the story of Monty (Edward Norton) in a typical New-York settlement with the strange distance between freedom without money and the feeling of having lost your life. Monty thinks he will not be capable to cope with the inhuman prisons. He is white and he is learned and above all he is not a drop-out. The Russian Mafia is well depicted and realistic. The scene in the dancing was too long. The environment of the stock market and the brookers is realistic and is in counterpoint with the college. At the end of the film there is a mystery but after all every one can decide for his destination.
