A Dangerous Place

This is a pretty good movie. Not great, but exciting enough. There are plenty of scary moments, and of course the urgent tone and frenzied editing of the various news outlets. Weird lighting, strange angles and shaky cameras add to the mood in the scary situations.

And we are given many different possibilities about the cause of what's going on. But we always suspect there is one main reason. We just don't know the details.

But it's not all a tense thriller. There are sweet family moments, and even a role for faith, as the family's priest helps with honoring Will.

And there is room for occasional comedy, like that huge pile of what looks like a week's worth of celebrity fan mail, but is really eight months of regular mail.

Kristen Dalton does an okay job. Claire has to be strong, but she falls apart occasionally. She's no superwoman, which is fine. She isn't necessarily a person of faith, but she is open to the idea of relying on a higher power.

I could have done without all the blood, but I guess that's how you know people are sick.

It's worth seeing.

I am in shock because I seriously can't decide whether I enjoyed or even understood this movie at all. I realize that my statement doesn't make much sense but then nor did the flick. What I can say is I became totally engrossed in it. I gave a 6/10 because I thought Kristen Dalton's acting was superb and the rest of the cast were pretty admirable in their roles. I kept expecting to understand the relationship between husband, wife and son by the end of the movie but in reality I still don't get it fully. No other movie has left me so confused. It's worth watching for that experience alone.

The story is simple:

1) company makes TB vaccination,

2) TB outbreak occurs,

3) company has monopoly on TB meds.

Throughout the whole movie, the filming was jerky. I think the longest continuous shot was about 5 seconds. I watched this with my brother (15) and even he thought it was a stupid plot and he had a headache from the quick movements. Says the boy who thought Chronicle was a GREAT movie and enjoys fast, jerky, war movies.

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE...or if you do, be sure to stock up on motion sickness pills.

I'm no critic... just an average movie viewer.

However, after seeing this movie, I had to write this commentary to tell you my thoughts. I'll keep it simple.

Acting was below average. Directing/editing is disappointing.

I could see where they were going with the story and it had so much potential but it fell short in so many places. In some instances it was confusing and erratic.

And the ending... well... that didn't really make a lot of sense but I could see the intention.

Audio production is at times woeful and inconsistent throughout the entire movie. Levels and EQ (equalisation) were all over the place.

There were a few good moments in the movie that made me think there was some hope for it to get better... but they quickly disappeared.

Overall, poorly executed by both production and acting - could have been so much better... shame.

I'm sure there are better reviews about this movie but I had to pass on my thoughts...

You can find much better ways to spend 95 minutes - sitting through this movie is NOT one of them.

Once again the brilliant minds of Corrado/Shoner have done it again,in my eyes another well blended masterpiece of suspense and the horrific realities of todays society.This great film makes one wonder,exposes the truth and stirs up controversy.I love the concept of this film and quite honestly enjoy all films by Corrado Shoner.This duo of creative minds are a team to keep an eye on.I cannot wait and see what they come up with next. Very gutsy approach I must commend this duo for utilizing a concept that many do not dare to attempt,conspiracy theorist at its very finest.lets face it folks we all know this stuff really goes on in our society today and to highlight and expose through a film is pure genius i am new to the indie scene and must say this film brought me closer to this scene.
