Impossible to take lightly

Rating: 9/10 (29 October 2005)

Its hard to start this review out. So I'll try and explain what I felt while watching the movie, instead of explaining the movie itself. Heres how I look at this film: You have "horror" flicks, you have "thrillers", you have "dramas". This movie fits into every single one of thoughs categories. To me there's really not many scary movies out there. My idea of a scary movie isn't "Friday the 13th" or "Halloween". Tts movies like this one, movies were the base of the story is so deep that it makes you want to cry, movies that make you look at the people watching it with you, and saying, "I never want that to happen to that person". This IS reality, there is nothing scarier to me than reality, it has the ability to touch your emotions in a way that no monster flick could ever do. When the hair on your arms and neck stand up and you have to fight the tears in your eyes so that the people around you don't notice your emotions, and you soon realize that they are trying to do the exact same thing, you know that the film has a meaning, has a reason, and should be taken seriously. Thats how this film is, and if you are able to take it lightly, and get up from it without having a second thought, then maybe you need to watch it again and pay closer attention.
I don't believe in reality TV, thoughs two words are the biggest oxymoron's that have ever come across my mind. But this movie really makes me think. Through this entire movie I thought of the pain my mother would feel, and that I would feel if I were in this situation. I'm not going to spoil this movie for you, but even if I told you word for word what happens, watching it gives a whole different meaning to the movie. I like to use the term "Shock and Awe".
Be warned that there are parts that many would be offended by, but that is simply the reality of the situation. Please, do yourself a favor, and don't pass up this movie, it could change your or someone you knows life, as corny as that sounds to be drawn out of a movie.
