what's missing in cinema

clearly the person (if you can call him that) who wrote the prior review is an idiot and a philistine.

Agreed the performances were terrific as was everything else! This film isn't "slow paced"! That's called atmosphere but I guess people don't look for that type of thing when watching Michael Bay.

The inability to see ideas in this film reflects more a lack of ideas in one's self.

I've seen all of this director's films and hopefully will get to see many more but unfortunately the taste of the movie-going public (ahem, previous comment as an example) may not allow it.

Trivia
Was produced out of the Motion Picture Institute of Michigan where this year's students film students (2009 Graduates) constructed sets, auditioned and brought in actors, then set the lighting, shot the film, and recorded the audio in a real world production environment. The film was directed by by 2008 MPI Graduate Robert Joseph Butler and the class was lectured by Detroit Cinematographer Robert Skates.
