A Numbers Game

Neil Black is a good looking schmoozer who can sell anything to anyone, literally. The beautiful Catherine (Madison Walls) doesn’t seem to close deals as easily as Mr. Black (Steven Bauer) and soon realizes her sales room is headed for disaster. Not able to handle rejection or accept failure, Catherine is forced to hand over her sales team to Neil Black, and watch as he turns her unproductive lazy sales room into a prosperous and successful “money room.” Basically, the plot focuses on the transformation of Catherine’s failing sales room and the blossoming relationship between her and Neil Black.

Directed by James Van Alden, A Numbers Game leans on a strong ensemble — Madison Walls, Steven Bauer, Ken Howard — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2010.
