M.I.A. A Greater Evil

I quickly got wrapped up in the plot and lost track of time. You had me guessing all the way through. The lighting was excellent - around a campfire at night - not easy I'm sure. Nice to watch a film that has a plot not centered around CGI and car chase scenes.The "establishing shots" set in the jungle eg. snail on a tree , were artistic and made for excellent visual transitions. I very much enjoyed it. Valerie Bentson was my pick for best performance

Some other reviewers here are being unfairly harsh. Surely, a first offering from a group of individuals new to the industry, and working with a micro budget should be judged on what it is, on what they have succeeded in achieving, rather than what it is not. The story and pacing are strong, as is the photography, and there are some intriguing ideas being explored here by people who clearly love the medium. I also think it worth making special mention of screenwriter Peter Lloyd, no doubt this guy will be one to watch out for in the future.

This debut is worthy of your attention.

I found the movie interesting and watched it all the way through. I was not expecting an Academy Award winner here, I was looking for new movie makers with new ideas and watch them develop a story and keep me watching. I was not disappointed.

Acting was raw, not raw as in bad, it was more of a group of actors who are finding their was an exploring roles, which given the setting I think they all did a pretty good job. The setting was great, the actual story (if you watched it to the end) had a great spoiler and the photography was solid.

I am not sure what people are looking for in a movie, but I want to be entertained, have a few laughs, some excitement and at the end of the movie be able to say "hey that wasn't bad, it hit the boxes in what I was looking for in a movie"

The movie was popcorn worthy and you can like it or not like it and I saw it as a solid effort with some nice surprises along with some young actors we might see in other films.

Overall a good time!

Poor writing and even worse acting. I think making this film was someones high-school assignment. Well I give it a D-. I had to quit watching within the first hour. Please don't waste your time & money to see this 'Bomb!'

The theme of this movie has always been one of interest to me personally and this is a good story well told. I especially enjoyed some of the cinematography and the movie is well paced. Suspense and mystery are maintained throughout the movie and I also enjoyed the fact that the producers and directors did not seek to shock with blood and excessive violence.
