Plot: A slick and silver-tongued telemarketer named Penny gets recruited to sell land for Spectrum Ore & Mineral. The jump from selling vacation packages to legit real estate comes with shock and growing pains, but the daily cash bonuses at 17% lift his bank account from $0.00 to $80,000.00 in two weeks. Is it the prime gig he dreams of, or is there an angle nobody sees? -- CJP

Action: 2/3 + Comedy: 0.5/2 + Good vs Evil: 1/1 + Love/Sex: 1/1 + Special Effects: 0.5/1 + Plot: 0.5/1 + Music: 1/1 = 6.5/10 or 65%. A slick and silver-tongued telemarketer named Penny gets recruited to sell land for Spectrum Ore & Mineral. The jump from selling vacation packages to legit real estate comes with shock and growing pains, but not nearly as much shock as when each seller's bank account is emptied and the company disappears. The ride is above average though the ending leaves the "what if this happened to you?" question right in your lap with no solution. It works O.K. here, but the viewer's final take will depend on her/his attitude towards such an ending.
