    One line from this movie says it all...

    This isn't a bad movie. It only strives to be bad. It's worse than bad. When you look up "bad movies" in the dictionary, it merely uses this movie as the definition. It would have to get a LOT better just so it could be bad.

    This line, spoken by a "doctor" in as ham-fisted way as conceivably possible, defines how bad the movie is: "Call an ambulance. And a priest." As if a doctor would say that for a patient who isn't even dying.

    If you have only a limited amount of time left on this earth, don't waste it on this pile of stinking horse manure.

    My Favorite Jon Voight Film, and one of my top fav movies in general

    This is probably one of if not the best movie about one man fighting his inner demons to change himself. Jon voight gives a powerful performance as the fixer of the rich people's problems who has a change of heart. This movie will make you feel for jon the whole way through and never stop. The cast is great too besides him, everyone fits nicely in their role and are neither too over done or under done. Jon Voight is the only real shiner in this one but god does he shine. I can easily say that this is my favorite jon voight film and i've seen quite a few of his movies. I highly recommend this for anyone that wants a feel good movie with added in thrills and drama. I promise that you will like it as much as i did.

    The Ones Pulling The Strings

    Who's pulling the strings in our lives nowadays? Ever wonder about that?

    Well, this movie reveals some of the methods used by the powerful to attain their goals.We are rarely privileged to witness what goes on behind the scenes of dirty deals. But this film takes you through an eye-opening ride that will make you think and reflect on what goes on in the world around us.

    The lack of reviews suggest that this movie is one of those "rare" ones that have neither been widely circulated..... nor sufficiently advertised. And I wonder why? Is it perhaps it makes some powerful folks uncomfortable? Why does hardly anybody even remember seeing it even once? :Who knows?

    You just might find the answer to these questions yourself...IF you watch this movie.

    Excellent story

    Very unique story about a turnaround life in organized crime.... I would think it's hard to imagine such a possibility, but this is a very realistic film, without minimizing the costs, the hardness of what might be involved. A lot of art, creative camerawork and imagery for a television movie, too. Well-written and masterfully directed.
