Acting
Gere's best performance, somehow forgotten by history.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Clifford Irving makes a cameo as a diner patron, which is honestly the most chaotic flex possible.
Released the same year as 'The Prestige'—2006 was apparently peak 'men destroying themselves for ambition' cinema.
