This film is not what it appears to be! If you go by the commercials, This is a bawdy picture chock full of rude jokes and potty humor and while That is certainly there, there is a much deeper story going on here.

The story starts out in retrospect with one of the main characters lighting up some contraband in preparation for his upcoming appointment. That appointment is as a masseur for an older gentlemen, and you get the idea that this individual is looking for something more than just a massage. This scene arts things up for how unhappy our main character David Packouz (played by Miles Teller) really is.

He tries a couple of alternative ideas for income before running into his old friend Efriam Diveroli (played by Jonah Hill) and another friends funeral. It is shortly after this that Efriam decides to make him an offer to join his organization. David, after his last failure, decides to at least take a look at the opportunity and comes to discover that his friend after him is actually involved in bidding on arms. Now David is a pacifist and so this goes against his convictions, but the opportunity and the money that goes with it are too great to turn down. This leads us to jump right into the initial successes of his business. The only problem is that he has to continually lie to his girlfriend about what he does.

Success comes quickly and with it all the perks, but David begins to see how his friend puts on a mask to be whatever he needs to be to make a sale. This is where things start to get a little crazy. They win a bid for the government, because they came in ridiculously low, and now have to deliver. This proves especially problematic as some of the items they need to deliver can’t go through customs. This is where we see how resourceful Ephriam is, we also just begin to see how things could fall apart.

The story has many peaks and valleys, tons of drama, laughs, and action and proved to be MUCH better then I expected. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would see it again in a minute!

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland.

He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
