Wise Guys! offers a fascinating look at the world of trivia competitions, particularly the high-stakes Jeopardy! $100,000 Tournament of Champions. The documentary follows a diverse group of contestants, including a Los Angeles stamp dealer and a Miami school teacher, each bringing their own quirks and backstories to the table. David Hartwell captures the tension and excitement of the game, but it’s the human moments that really shine—like the camaraderie and rivalry between contestants. The pacing feels brisk, and at times you can sense the pressure mounting as they answer questions under the bright lights.
