Negative Positive
Title: A good movie that demonstrates its own premise
Review: The reviews for this flick were so uniformly awful I nearly missed it entirely. Even after I bought the DVD on a whim, it sat on a shelf for weeks and I don't think I would have seen it at all except I came down with the flu and was looking for something to distract me. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be fast paced action film with a great cast and high production values. I'm not talking about a great film, but still very entertaining compared with most of the drivel from Hollywood. I could not understand all the bad reviews. Then a started to get a nasty suspicion which was confirmed when I read some of the Amazon reviews. Apparently this country has been so intimidated by the extreme right in this county that any piece of fiction that is critical of these wackos is rejected out of hand by the media. Shades of the repression of the 40s and 50s! I find it ironic that this movie demonstrates its own premise.
Is the review positive or negative?
