The Genius Club -
"They have one night to save the world's problems."
A terrorist culls together seven geniuses: a scientist, a seminary student, a pro baseball player, a professor, a casino owner, a painter, and a pizza delivery guy on Christmas Eve to attempt to solve the world’s problems in one night. The group attempts to solve world hunger, war, cancer, terrorism, rush hour traffic, jerks, and finally the meaning of life. By morning, the group finds redemption in themselves and quite possibly the world.

This is a well written & well acted thriller, but you must suspend your expectations about how plausible it is, cuz it ain't, and how the true genius, a well educated person who should have easily blown up the city long ago is well…not realistic.
However, the credibility of this film grows as the evening wears on – I actually felt like I was sitting with these geniuses deducing and trying to find answers.
Although the title of the movie (explained during the course of it for better understanding by the masses) is already potent in itself, something like 'The World is Stupid' might have prevented it from prematurely disappearing from the (big) screens. And undeservingly too. For if you think only Grisham can make you believe the long-reaching arm of the law is usually equipped with a deadly weapon, you need to see this movie to really find out what an excellent legal suspense is all about. Helped by a masterfully wrought script that will slowly gripe your tripe, Tom Sizemore single-handedly carries it from start to finish in an Oscar-deserving fashion. Enjoy the puzzles, the world issues, the macabre, and Jack Scalia who plays the best president yet to hit a silver screen. And don't forget any of the clues en route or there will be holes in your puzzle when you're done.
