I thought the story was well told with an ending that I did not see coming.
I found the dialogue between Jason and Ernie to be much more natural in this tale. I also thought the role of Old Tom was very well acted. He did a very fine job of making Ernie’s insanity over not being able to get at the gold all the more believable Overall I thought this was a fine tale and again was pleased that the end came as a surprise.

Every time I heard “The Syndicateâ€ I could not help thinking of Dennis Connors and Stars and Stripes. Too much America’s Cup I guess.
