The Skulls - Alle Macht der Welt

INHALT

Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek) took a step towards Hollywood stardom with a leading role in this preposterous but entertaining thriller. Jackson plays Luke, a non-wealthy student who is given the opportunity to join a college secret society called the Skulls, which counts politicians and rich businessmen among its alumni. Shortly after Luke's initiation (which involves a lot of running to answer phones and climbing up college steeples), his best friend (who'd been investigating the group) suspiciously commits suicide, leaving Luke to choose between his jet-set pals and justice. An initially tense set-up by director Rob Cohen (Dragonheart) gets increasingly daft as the Skulls go to bizarre lengths to harbour their secrets, but Jackson holds your interest until the end - surely the best talent that a star-in-the-making could hope to have.
