9/10
Maybe the best movie I've seen all year.
27 November 2007
9.5/10 Wow. Not the kind of movie I normally watch, but flat out wow. I really, really want to give this a 10/10, but I'm hesitant. Filmed as a play on the stage would be, it's essentially 90 minutes of yak, but it plays so well thanks to fantastic performances by most of the cast. Tony Todd—an actor who normally couldn't out-act William Shatner—was fantastic, as was David Lee Smith, an actor whom I'm barely aware of. As I said, it's filmed as a yak, yak stage play, with no profanity, no gore, no horror, yet it plays as the most entertaining movie I've seen since…maybe all year!

The story was so engaging that I was completely enthralled by the tale. I will give no spoilers at all, except to say it's the story of a man…he claims to be 14000 years old, told to a group his academic peers. Is it truth, or is it fiction?

This movie will not be for everyone—what movie is!—but it will certainly entertain those in need of pure drama. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
