Laced with horribly clichéd secret society mumbo jumbo and unintentionally funny homoerotic undertones, The Skulls is a laughable thriller about a pre-law Yale student (Joshua Jackson) so shallow and ambitious that he's willing to throw over his best friend and the girl he loves just to be accepted in an underground campus club of power-hungry blue bloods. An over-produced, slow-witted, collegiate retread of The Firm, the plot revolves around Jackson running for his life and seeking a way out after discovering the organization's pattern of murder, corruption and cover up. Not recommended. (R. Blackwelder)
