For the life of me I do not understand why this was panned. It heavily flopped at the Box office - but my viewing tonight showed me a well-put together piece, that has location, scripting, pace, ingtrigue, and a decent under-stated soundscape throughout. There is very little to fault here, all cast members aquit themselves well. There is a mystical theme that begins 20 minutes before the credits roll, but I was OK with that. Multiplex audiences would completely drop the popcorn at that point, but I give credit for the Director and Writers developing a deeper than pulp revenge western.

I really like this film.

Well, we sat through it to the end. A friend asked to see this, so it was staged along with a nice supper... which meant that we could not just run away - but in fact, less than twenty minutes in, I was ready to pull the plug on the television. Where to start with this one ? It's 'feel' was early 1970's, which in itself is a terrible handicap to recover from. Unhappily, the acting is grade school level, and the sets are Hallmark greeting card-themed. The moralistic narrative is extremely simple, unmistakably so - characters have wooden facial expressions, similar to watching a 1970's soap opera. You could have made this film for a lot less than 10 million, as there simply is not enough of any kind of quality here to require that level of investment. As the final credits rolled, I was given the clue I needed - this film is base don a series of books written by a moralistically simple minded 'channeler' - to promote the books. It's an hour and forty minutes of promo for books I would never ever read. Looking back this morning, it's almost distasteful to see a film put out at this level of awkward banality. A stinker.

.... tells me volumes about the way this subject matter is handled, or even 'controlled'.

There is an unprecedented damage-limitation effort made across the world to crush discussion about vaccine efficacy. I am not 'anti' in the stereotypical sense used by the apologists - I am skeptical - and I have every right to my skepticism, given the track record of both regulatory bodies and manufacturers.... And with excellent reason. We have been lied to. You will know this if you bother to dig into the debate - it's no longer possible to deny the complicity of the people who make these vaccines. Zimmerman, the US star reference in the 2004 hearings, admits on this film that his private advice to the Government that there was undeniable evidence of vaccine-caused autism in some children was IGNORED, and he was silent until now. He admits in an affadavit what he knows, and therefore what the Government also knows. And yet no one will do anything about it.

This film is excellent. measured, proportional, well-annotated with historical facts. You should see this, either as a supporter or a critic of vaccine pressure. It's ringing a bell, a warning bell .... we cannot under-estimate the numbers we are seeing now - the rates of damaged children. If you really think that there is nothing to the cacophony of opposition to the vaccine industry (because that's what it is, a mega-money industry) then please see this film. Please.
