User Reviews

In the Flesh is very well-written and interesting to watch.

In the Flesh is a well-written story which unfolds slowly and deliberately towards a good ending. The characters are well-developed, especially the lead characters. The acting is quite good. The story is quite believable. I enjoyed this movie very much.
