Raw movie of human nature unchecked and rampant starting out with two bully type people who draw courage from drinking, intimidating and harassing others take their conducts to the next level in this slowly but surely unfolding movie that has a grip and suspense to it. Great experiment in fear that can be seen and fear that cannot be seen until pushed to reveal itself. All actors played their part to the point where you forget this is a movie and that is as high as you can go in the acting field bar none. Direction is taught and to the point focusing on cause and effect circumstances that anyone could be subject to at any time or place. My favorite movie "game" is to ask what would you have done in the circumstances presented and this movie gives you plenty of roles to take on to answer with. Remember, for its time it was bold and even today makes a good statement. Take note of the different walks of life that make up this life journey and how we all are on common ground with understood boundaries. What is frightening is when someone crosses those boundaries! This movie explores this satisfactorily. I actually had a real life incident in a movie theater of 300 people with lights on waiting for a movie to start. There were no coming attractions at the time just the audience talking until lights dimmed and curtain was drawn back. SMACK is what we all heard coming from a black guy hitting his white girl friend and her crying from it. The whole theater went quiet. Then the guy starts challenging anyone to do something about it. A young theater host comes and tells him something and he hits this kid hard. He then states to the whole theater cursing us saying what you all gonna do? I stood up and said buddy...I am on my way!. Got up went to the front near the screen, cut across and started up the isle when two guys & then two more said: we are with you. I said each one of you grab a leg or an arm. We tackled this guy down and I sat on his chest. The guy says: I can't breath and I said: You should have thought of that before all this. Two policeman showed up and did their duty. The whole audience was in awe, the movie still didn't start and many were thanking me and scared for me at the same time. Imagine one man holding 300 people hostage? This movie takes you there too!
