Reviews:
“I recently saw this film, and once again, William H. Macy does not disappoint. He portrays these saddened characters so well (among his other great portrayals), and this film is no exception. I’m a huge fan of films within films/Hollywood satires, so The Deal fit right in. The film portrays a struggling, suicidal screenwriter who wants to go out with a bang, but during his final project, he finds new hope and strength to continue. LL Cool J is just hilarious as the main action star/method actor. His scenes stand out the most. But the film’s dialogue is great, as well as the movie within a movie, a film based on Benjamin Disraeli but with a twist. I won’t spoil anything else, except to say it’s well worth the viewing if you love movies, William H. Macy, or more movies.” Written by leegaccmovies on IMDb.com
“I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It’s wit, charm, and depth had me glued to the screen the whole time! I’ve always enjoyed Macy’s work and he definitely shines in this one. The arc in his character is so clear and obvious, that it is easy yet enjoyable to go on the journey with his character. The movie’s satirical view on Hollywood film-making is sure to make anyone laugh. The direction is clear and the movie is fast-paced, yet easy to follow. Honestly, it took me by surprise. I didn’t really know what to expect, when I watched it and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I also loved Jason Ritter’s performance…this movie deserves some recognition. It’s stacked with amazing talent. The beginning of the movie is done very well, drawing the audience into the piece. I HIGHLY recommend it!” Written by mycatiegirl on IMDb.com
“This star-studed film from Steven Schachter (director of the Emmy award winning TV film Door to Door) is an interesting film with a diverse combination of comedy and action. The Deal features many well known actors including William H Macy (Fargo), Meg Ryan (When Harry Met Sally), LL Cool J (Last Holiday), and Jason Ritter (TV’s Joan of Arcadia). This film is a new inside look on the Hollywood scene and should not be missed. I’ve always been a fan on films about Hollywood and this is one of the more interesting takes on that. I’m also a fan of the every day man acting in William H Macy’s. I know he put a lot of work into getting this film out, which wasn’t released in theaters. It’s now available on DVD so I recommend checking it out.” Written by jlck-1 on IMDb.com
