I had the privilege to see this film before anyone else did at a KLTY radio promotion giveaway. The actors, Stephen Baldwin, Paula Jai Parker and others were in the audience with the director Tim Chey and 2 producers.
This is a well written & well acted thriller, but you must suspend your expectations about how plausible it is, cuz it ain't, and how the true genius, a well educated person could have easily blown up the city long ago is well not realistic.
However, the credibility of this film grows as the evening wears on I actually felt like I was sitting with these geniuses deducing and trying to find answers. In the end, most of the people around me were in tears which caught me off guard.
Although the title of the movie (explained during the course of it for better understanding by the masses) is already potent in itself, something like "The World is Stupid" might have prevented it from prematurely disappearing from the (big) screens. And undeservedly too. For if you think only Grisham can make you believe the long-reaching arm of the law is usually equipped with a deadly weapon, you need to see this movie to really find out what an excellent legal suspense is all about. Helped by a masterfully wrought script that will slowly gripe your tripe, Tom Sizemore single-handedly carries it from start to finish in an Oscar- deserving fashion. Enjoy the puzzles, the world issues, the macabre, and Jack Scalia who plays the best president yet to hit a silver screen. And don't forget any of the clues en route or there will be holes in your puzzle when you're done.
I highly recommend the film for no other reason than the world is insane and no human being can solve it.
