How have the critics reviewed his acting prefromance? I am going to assuming he is being dragged because you have made no rave threads. Duca his propaganda machine.
I should make one:
Quote:
Justin Timberlake gets pass marks as the penniless student with a penchant for laptop poker and white suits, although we’ve seen him offer far more impressive turns in the past. Crucially, though, this probably has more to do with the generic material than JT’s acting ability, as the film often feels like a rough first-draft that’s merely going through the motions.
Timberlake's character is intriguing, walking that fine line between daring and naivety, and its pulled off nicely by the singer-actor, like a less swaggering version of his Sean Parker in The Social Network.
Justin Timberlake brushes up his Social Network skills to play Richie, a former big deal in the city now putting himself through Princeton by rustling up business for gambling websites.
The consistently impressive Justin Timberlake – always at his best in Ivy League button-downs – takes on the Charlie Sheen role as a Princeton student who, suspecting that a poker site is corrupt, flies to Costa Rica to confront the owner.
Justin Timberlake turns in a decent performance as a struggling student wowed by the bright lights and big bucks of online gambling, and the ideas at the core of the film are relevant to recent economic events even if they play out as unsubtle allegory. Despite the final product is lacking in style it’s clear to see why the stellar actors was attracted to the project.
We know from The Social Network that preppy smart-alecs are well within Timberlake's acting range. He’s the right star for Brad Furman’s movie, as a Princeton grad student who’s been raising his tuition fees by mastering the ins and outs of online gambling.
While Timberlake does a solid job as Furst, riding a smart balance between cocky swagger and earnestness (in a role that feels like a lesser-man’s Sean Parker), he’s unaided by a screenplay that never digs into his character beyond a handful of clichés.

Good music wins in the end, even with major setbacks like a radio ban.
I couldn't believe the blandness.
