Reviews

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
