Watch this film!

The Pack achieves what all social issues films should -- the issue (in this case, tobacco use, and in particular second-hand smoke) -- is contained in the DNA of each and every frame, and yet the story transcends the issue and carries us away in its own right.

In part a court-room drama, and in part a family tragedy, The Pack is directed (by Alyssa Rallo Bennett) with great restraint and a steady hand. In fact, the ensemble cast is excellent, with Lucy Arnaz negotiating the murky territory in her roles as mother, housewife, and murder suspect.

As someone who has been closely affected by the devastating effects of lung cancer, I appreciate this film for standing strong on one of the burning issues of modern times.

AMAZING Performances, Timeless Issue, Dramatic and Thought Provoking

Partial to these actors - but aside from Elisabeth Moss's sweet cameo, Lucie Arnaz is the women to watch - playing a tough character, Roger Robinson (Tony Award at 70something years old for Joe Turner's Come and Gone) RIP, is soulful, poetic , Zach Galligan plays against his Gremlins persona, Jennifer McCabe is stunning, Adam Ferrara is moving and strong, Fiona Choi is lovely! Ryan Homchick as the son walks the line as a son with conflicted issues and love, Michael Pemberton pulls rabbits out of a hat, Carlos Leon - Madonna's X is an actor who should have a more of a career, Molly Culver is strong and tough, Angela Pietropinto (The Soprano's, Goodfellas, Welcome to the Dollhouse) is delightful and Tibor Feldman (the Devil Wears Prada) is both compelling, conflicted and beautifully transparent.

Very compelling film!

The Pack is a truly unique film.

It tackles tough subjects making the viewer question politics, big business and family dynamics.

The complex concept/controversy over smoking is brought beautifully to life with very compelling direction and performances.

I find it remarkable how the film is able to thoroughly engage us emotionally and intellectually. It makes us question our roles in society and our personal ethics.

It's a film that you will always remember.

You will find yourself taking about The Pack for years to come.

A new, poignant film about the dangers of smoking and it's consequences.

This film is great educational tool for teachers and parents a like to show young people the dangers of smoking and how it not only effects you, but everyone around you as well. People never stop to think how their choices effect those around them until it is too late. This film brings that issue into the forefront and forces everyone to realize that dangerous behavior, including smoking and secondhand smoke, has consequences that not only effect you but others around you. It also makes people question are you to be blamed for hurting others with your behavior or should others be accountable as well for not taking their own health and safety into account.

An extremely credible firm

When UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School-Department of Pediatrics invited Director Alyssa Rallo Bennett to attend as a Guest Speaker for our Grand Rounds, all the attendees (physicians, staff, fellows, residents, and students) were amazed during the presentation about how this movie was extremely educational with a very specific message. It displayed the dangers of second hand smoke. The intensity of the movie was piercing when the biggest challenge was to prove whether the smoker could be held legally liable and directly responsible for the harm caused as a result of smoking. I strongly feel that this movie is a must see for children, parents, teachers, physicians, and lawmakers. An extremely credible film
