4 stars**** Sadly, this movie didn’t gain a large theatre release due to ‘problems’ with the distributor, possibly economical. That’s a real shame because this is a real film, not a shoot ‘em up big action, explosions movie. A real film has a great script, great crew and makes you think. A real movie gets [...]

It’s a good screenplay, the laughs come along regularly and there aren’t any parts where [...]
