I recently saw this film, and once again, William H. Macy does not disappoint. He portrays these saddened characters so well (among his other great portrayals), and this film is no exception. I'm a huge fan of films within films/Hollywood satires, so The Deal fit right in. The film portrays a struggling, suicidal screenwriter who wants to go out with a bang, but during his final project, he finds new hope and strength to continue. LL Cool J is just hilarious as the main action star/method actor. His scenes stand out the most. But the film's dialogue is great, as well as the movie within a movie, a film based on Benjamin Disraeli but with a twist. I won't spoil anything else, except to say it's well worth the viewing if you love movies, William H. Macy, or more movies.
