The Hoax is the kind of movie I'm glad I saw but if I missed it I don't think the world would have ended if I missed it. It's fascinating, entertaining, and there really wasn't anything about it that I didn't like but there really wasn't anything I loved either.
Richard Gere does a good job showing a man unraveling under pressure that he has created and Alfred Molina is good as always. In fact, I can't really think of any performance that didn't ring true, still there was nothing that I really took attention to.
I kept thinking that this would make a good double feature to watch after The Aviator or F is for Fake then when the movie was over I really wanted to watch F is for Fake again. It's interesting to see how Clifford Irving was able to fool everyone at his publishing company and I would actually like to know more about it, I guess that's what the book is for.
