Above & Beyond

This movie was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. The cast is excellent in this film. This film is very emotional. While I didn't necessarily like the way things may have turned out in the film in terms of the ending, it definitely left food for thought. There was an excellent use of foreshadowing in the writing, and all in all it really exposed a decent part of the human condition. My favorite actor, Costas Mandylor did an amazing job of playing a paralyzed cop and I believe this film showcased his versatile acting skills. I also liked his character as a whole because ultimately the character had a great sense of integrity and throughout the film the character also had genuine humanity. The rest of the actors as a whole also did an excellent job so I give props to the actors, the director, and the casting director on that one. Once again this film is very emotional, and I would even say it sent me on an emotional roller coaster. There were times of happiness in the film, as well as wonderment, drama, sadness, anger, and laughter. A really decent film for a TV movie, and one I would enjoy watching again.

The performance is ok , its a B production quality movie. the movie plot is also not that bad, i thought it would be betrayal or murder. but its more like romance n relationship.

Even the movie has some drawback or flaws but still its kinda exciting , anyhow the movie is ruined by ending. its really nonsense and heartless.

---------------spoilers ---------------

why its ruined?... whole movie it shows that wife really loves the husband and want to take care him , even in the movie it shows some scenes that she trying her best.. In-fact some stupid scene where instead of take care husband , she left to watch a stupid hockey game with best friend and the husband crashed in bathroom.

and then in the end. when best friend express his own feeling then good wife suddenly changed her heart that fast? the hell ....

the most sad point is... husband was building his dream house for WIFE. to live together. But she end with best friend in that house?.. thats really disgusting..

Incase you don't know what is about, then it is about a married couple and their best friend. It is not a love triangle as such, but a drama of emotions, played out to the setting of injuries, police officers and ice hockey.

The film is good in part and poor at times. The anger I feel when people behave irrationally, but you have to convince yourself that people may react in that way. Still I will not point out exactly which bits I am referring to, you can enjoy that for yourself.

At the half hour point I was beginning to get quite annoyed with this film, but it did improve near to the end. I did find that some emotional content that was enjoyable to watch play out. Many people will find this movie dull and uninteresting. This is by no means brilliant or ground breaking, but it does have value if you ask me. 5/10... ooh I'm harsh.
