I was bolted to my seat throughout the riveting and emotional tour de force called "To Serve and Protect." Every actor and actress in this thing amazed me with their ability to draw me into the film, but I think the real high point here is a scene between one of the lead actresses and the sadly uncredited "Guy on bike." When he passes her on that bridge, and their eyes meet, all of the intensity and suspense that this movie has to offer comes to a head just before "Guy on bike" utters the words that define relief itself, "How's it goin'?" Absolutely fantastic stuff.
