    Interesting twist on a TV movie

    Interesting technique - a mystery wrapped in a documentary-style presentation. So real-sounding that you want to know more and find yourself becoming more engrossed as details are progressively revealed. The climax plays Hollywood at their own game. Perhaps a little tame at the end but full marks for innovation!

    my god

    i thought this was called the "the mysterious Disappearance of Kevin Johnson" it had a different cover on it when i seen it as well. words cannot describe how bad this film is which wouldn't be so bad except every review on the box touted it as a cinematic great. the documentary shooting style is unbelievably painful and boring, when it starts you assume it's only going to stay in the style for about ten minutes but it stays that way as far as i know for the whole film. I watched it in a large group and we were all excited to watch it because of the ratings but after an hour, for more than half of which i had to fight to keep it on despite finding every second absolute misery (i genuinely believed it must have had some merit - it didn't) we turned it off took it up to the second hand shop and sold it for 25p towards a new film.

    A Fantastically! entertaining piece of film.

    I rented this movie expecting to see the usual straight-to-video crap, but was pleasantly surprised. The originality of this film was astounding, I have never seen or heard of a movie like this before (not saying there isn't but I have never heard of it). Done in a mock documentary style the film unfolds like a real life investigative journalism story. We learn more about the situation as the "film makers" learn more. More twists and intrigues occur as the movie progresses. I found myself leaning more and more forward in my chair not wanting to miss anything, suspecting everyone. Near the end I was concerned that the ending was going to be a let down but I rewound the tape feeling more than satisfied, I wouldn't of done it any different. Brilliant!

      Chad Leary: Producers, man. You wanna know about producers? There are these three guys, there's an architect, a mathematics professor at UCLA and a movie producer. Now these guys have been arguing for years about who's got the smartest dog, see? So finally they decide to go to the architect's house, take everything out of the garage and put a pile of bones in the middle of the empty space and send the dogs in, one at a time, and judge their intelligence by how they react to the bones. Okay. First up is the mathematics professor's dog. He lays all the bones out in a row, barks six times - he's counted them - one smart dog! Next, the architect's dog; he walks around the bones, picks them up in his teeth, one at a time, piles them up - hey, pretty impressive! Now, the movie producer's dog; crushes the bones, sniffs them up his nose, fucks the other two dogs and leaves - without even saying "thank you". Now, that my friend, is all you need to know about movie producers.
