    Luc Picard at his very best...
    This movie touched me very deeply. Without no doubts the best performance from Luc Picard. I really think that he deserves a Jutra for that part; he really was."The Savage Messiah" for me; the kind of man you would be afraid of.

    Thanks Luc. Nine out of ten.
