Olivia Munn could not pull off her character

All her tech/coding/engineering/epiphany dialogue was hard to listen to, it was just so clear she had no idea what the hell she was talking about, and not that i did either, but with that in mind a little acting on her part could have convinced me that her character was knowledgable in the subject. Instead she sounded like she was reading right off the script.

Rob Corddry was also totally wasted in this movie, his one liners weren't funny and you never got a chance to get to know his character, it was a shame.

Yeah, most of the people just seemed to be playing themselves. No real characters here at all.

Trying to create a channel based on interpreting, reviewing, and even giving you something to laugh about film. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance.

and when she said "Suck My Dick".... well, that was stupid... it makes no sense for a woman to say that... and it is a disgusting crude thing for anyone to say.

This is the second movie that I've seen this year where a woman says that... it just doesn't make sense, women don't say that in real life. If they do, then they are just *beep* idiots.

What did you expect?! Hello? It's Oliva Munn ffs.

It's hard to spin the *beep* she have to say in beliavable way. I liked the movie ok but hacker part was dumb. I think that she did what she could and it's not her fault.

Olivia Munn is not a talented actress (nothing against her personally) based on the past few years of her work. She was the host of a video game show. She did well on TV in The Newsroom because Sorkin wrote her lines and HBO probably had quality directors. Everything I've seen from her in the movies is not impressive.

Acting in a Sorkin project is even more difficult than normal. The fact she was excellent in The Newsroom shows she can act.

How do you figure? The guy writes one critically acclaimed movie or TV show after the next. It has to be easier acting for quality writing than not.

She's awful. I don't understand why she gets any work at all...she's proven that she adds nothing to anything she's in. It's almost the opposite. Most movies she's in under perform at the box office.

Well to be fair, the chick is only one notch above better than a pornstar in tears of acting.
