M.I.A. A Greater Evil

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.

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!'

I watched this clever little film with a growing interest of where it was taking me, then BAM! I could never have guessed the ending! A very thoughtful, unusual tale, misdirected as a horror film, with mysterious twists and turns throughout.

The underlying subject matter of the film, the allegations that men were left behind in the jungles of Asia after the Vietnam War had ended, is poignantly handled and cleverly dealt with, right up to the final scene.

An excellent movie.

A greater evil is how one of the main characters views himself in the world. If you are going to make a film in a foreign country, at least have respect. I hated the first 25 minutes, and didn't want to view any more. Sorry. Just bad, bad, bad.

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.
