Heavy-handed treatment that doesn't allow enough shades of grey. There are better ways of pointing out problems with the medical-pharmaceutical establishment than with films like this. How about evidence and cogent arguments, rather than melodramatics? I can't but praise Seth Adkins's acting, however.
My Movie Rating: 2 / 10I thought this film was a good film to watch, it was a heartfelt film.
I thought the acting was good and the storyline was good,
