Less is so much more

As a writer myself, my first hat's off are to Landon Reagan, for having the idea for the story, then Justin and Timothy Foia for so craftily putting it on the pages. From then on, it's everyone, director to prop master, to the guys who set up gear and clean up after craft services. In music, we can feel when we all come together; what we call a tight set or being in the pocket. It's magic when it all falls together. That's what I felt in this film; every second of every frame was absolutely necessary. I didn't find one moment when I thought a judicious bit of editing could have helped. Add an interesting story, stellar acting, excellent production values, and a script that asks more questions than it tells us, and I'm in for the ride. Finally, there's the underlying theme of the film, which I think is really worth considering. It's in the script. Do you really want to know? Once the clapper hits that bell frame, you can't unring it. It's a question worth exploring, and I think it was addressed and answered in an intelligent and meaningful way in this film.
