    Vile CIA and U.S. military propaganda. Barely a movie. More like a hodgepodge of platitudes and cliches. Keaton is always watchable, and the brief fight on a moving speedboat in choppy waters is a fun idea, but this is trash of the not-fun variety.

    One of the towering achievements of the 20th century, and among the finest films ever made.

    My friends Zach and Josh made this film. It’s a tender, relationship drama filled with longing and uncertainty and beauty. This is a romance balanced on a razor’s edge, and its attendant anticipation is equal parts exquisite and excruciating.

    Great film. It's marching to the beat of its own drum, but it's doing so in a way that brings the viewer into the experience rather than alienating them. And it manages the always tricky horror and comedy combo with aplomb. Joe Cappa is the real deal.
