Dense with detail but light on entertainment value, The Deal turns a potentially riveting subject into a sloppily assembled -- and progressively more implausible -- misfire.

There's too much of that inside-baseball talk, and too many ridiculous plot turns that require intelligent people to make really stupid decisions, just so the suspense can be sustained. July 11, 2005

Epstein and Kahn might have been better off leaving the assassinations, kidnappings and cliffhangers to Grisham and made a simpler, more realistic movie about a desperate young banker juggling deals and trying to stay afloat. June 18, 2005 | Rating: 2/4

Far from the real deal when it comes to even a modicum of plausibility on a politically hot topic. June 17, 2005 | Rating: 0.5/4 | Full Review…

The Deal clearly aims at being a roman-a-clef. Instead it's more of a roman-a-clumsy. June 17, 2005

Full of dizzying technical detail that only those in mergers-and-acquisitions may fully appreciate. June 17, 2005 | Rating: 2/4

The elaborate suspense revolving around the toxic mix of oil, money and politics that the media only ever seems to brush the surface, makes for heady viewing. March 26, 2007

Works more effectively as a collegiate dissertation than a fictional dissection of people caught in events beyond their control. September 23, 2005 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Basically, The Deal looks and sounds a whole lot like a big-budget, feature-length TV commercial for Merrill Lynch. August 20, 2005 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Most of the action takes place in board meetings, with characters handing each other secret memos or talking on the phone; it's a shockingly non-visual movie. June 29, 2005 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
