96 Minutes

This film portrays not every aspect of the subjects discussed but much more a targeted view of the characters and story that unfolds. As someone else said, it is sad and artistics. I would add, it conveys a reality. The reality of life and actions that many undertake on similar or same paths of behaviour, that have similar consequences. The film features the innocents (who could be anyone), the lead character who is intelligent enough to know better subject to his environment but not without choice and the idiot who represents a starkingly large portion of society- the one who is mad/ does things for the wrong reason and can't physically see what is important in life (at the extreme end also represents those who care little for the value of a life). Madness mixed with dark humour and a tense psychological ride- always easy to judge from the outside type moments. The film and it's message are hard hitting unless you are blind or simply don't care. From what I've seen on the streets and what we all see growing in the news each day, this film should be a social wake up call and lesson to all. In rich or poor countries it's always there and the film conveys the subtle reality that it could happen anywhere in any town. Seems to reflect well on the USA and their gun laws (those who believe they have the right to own military weapons). Enjoy, music at the end suits the finale well. Hats off to the less well known composer.
