Great film - loved the story, 27 October 2001
9/10
Author: danel-1 from LA

The writers have done an excellent job of crafting an interesting and compelling story line. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had some qualms about the acting and the music was not always great, but the dialogue made up for it. I'd like to see more from this team.
