Don't underestimate the courage some film makers have., 28 March 2003
10/10

I consider this one of the best films that has ever been produced and without a doubt one of my favorites. I've been aware of the music by Scott Johnson for quite awhile. When the words from the film that are used in the music during the titles and on the soundtrack recording are spoken during the film the effect was felt sort of in reverse as I've listened to the recording a few times and recently watched a tape of the film for the first time. It's good! One line in particular made an impression. When the character played by Vin Rhames says something to the effect that any room can be looked into through the use of the television set. So much truth in that line of dialog. Don't underestimate the courage some film makers have.
