Reception
Confused, poorly acted and with the production values of a high-school media studies project, Just Business is a film with no redeeming features. In fact, even calling it a "film" is a stretch. The fact that someone, somewhere, has had the poor sense to release it to the public is far more puzzling than anything happening in this so called mystery story. From its muddled plot, a modern-day American crime thriller, based loosely on Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, to acting of epically poor proportions, it is not even so bad it's good.
