Adam Cassidy, is an entry level employee with good skills stuck seeing his bosses take home tons of bonuses while he and his friends are still stuck with entry level salaries. He thinks gone are the days when u used to get a good degree and then get a good job easily. Things are not as easy these days when big multi billionaires make their employees stuck with low salaries for years and years.

He and his friends try to showcase a new genre mobile phone , but their proposal gets rejected. They all get fired! He finds a credit card accidentally in his stash of office stuff. That night they live it large at a pub using the credit card and Adam also ends up having sex with a girl.

Adam wakes up at her apartment. Afterwards he is called back by his boss's people who offers him a deal.
He has to work at the office of his boss's old friend ,who was his mentor too,and presently a big rival of his boss's company. This rival company was working on the launch of a new type of cell phone and Adam's boss wants him to spy on while he works in that company and get all the new technology that they are going to be using in that phone. Something like "stealing trade secret" . In return he will get paid huge, a job and also his friends' jobs will be given back. And if he doesn't , then they will be prosecuted for credit card fraud and sent to prison.

Adam who was stuck in debt due to his father's illness and no means to repay the amount he used up in the pub using the credit card , takes up the offer.

Slowly he realizes that with each day and his each step , he was getting more and more involved into a crime which even if he wanted , he couldn't come out. He tries leaving this whole thing and going to the FBI , but his house , his friends and even his girl friend was being tracked and traced every moment by his boss.

Finally he discovers that every aspect was being recorded in some way or the other between his boss and him , by none other than the women secretary that his boss had. She was actually working with the rival company run by Jock Goddard (Harrison Ford) .

Finding out both the bosses were into crimes , Adam secretly joins hands with the FBI taking help from his tech friends and unmasks both the bosses of the two companies. They are taken to prison and Adam too but Adam gets released shortly due to his co-operation with the FBI .

He and his friends start afresh a new company from scratch and he realizes that there are no shortcuts to the top.

 A very good movie , though IMDB rates it 4.9 / 10 , i really don't care! I enjoyed it. Good direction and good music too. A total thumbs up for the story!  And ofcourse , Liam is hot , :-P he shows off his body time and again in the film ;-P

I'd say a 3/5 ..

Here is a trailer but.. it's a must watch cuz u cant fig out the whole movie from the trailer! - Zinnia :)
