This was very entertaining. Douglas was excellent (as ever). he does seem to have a flair for playing mega-powerful tycoons. The plot is an elaborately played trick (a VERY elaborate one) that gives him something to focus on other than his work and, at the end, does make him, it seems, a bit of a better person. the biggest problem for me was the suspension of disbelief at how the extraordinarily elaborate plot and manifold tricks could be carried out using, to seems, so many people. But the basic idea of a company that does that is very intriguing.
