This is one of those pretty entertaining-yet-not memorable stories. It's about a "secret society" in an Ivy League school and a subsequent cover-up of a murder. There is a neat little twist about a half hour before the end of... Full review

This is not the film that will blow the lid off Yale's famous "Skull and Bones" club.

The Skulls are powerful and wealthy enough not only to pay his way through college, but get him accepted into any law school in the nation, and give him plenty of spending money besides.
The acting isn't bad, except for William L. Petersen (who appeared in "Cousins").

To my dismay, however, it appears like the movie is very well attempting to be a serious-minded thriller.
Worst of all, when "The Skulls" isn't downright awful, it's just a chore to sit through.
