As a criminal investigator with thirty years of experience, I was extremely impressed by House of Numbers.
In under 90 minutes, the director allowed the subjects tell their stories without getting in the way, allowing his audience to make up their own minds without putting them to sleep.
What results is a breathtaking and heart-wrenching expose of scientific corruption not seen since Pope Urban's condemnation of Galileo. Like a slow moving train wreck, House of Numbers allows the grand dragons of HIV to indict themselves for profit-driven crimes directed at young mothers, homosexuals, minorities and third world victims throughout the world with the same detachment that made Eli Weisel's NIGHT so powerful.
In short, Mr. Leung does for AIDS what Jeffrey Wigand did for Tobacco - the difference being that Wigand was an insider and Leung a thoughtful bystander.
By any investigative standard, Mr. Leung's film is a remarkable and important achievement – a MUST-SEE for anyone who cares about scientific integrity and healthcare.
