THE VIEWING
This movie is a bar raiser for cinema, especially films in the "found-footage" genre. Besides the occasional vertigo/dizziness, these are quickly becoming some of my favorite types of films to watch. Since 'storytelling' is paramount to making a good film, these types of movies thrust you into the story, most times unrelenting and unapologetic... love that!

This movie is a bar raiser for cinema, especially films in the "found-footage" genre. Besides the occasional vertigo/dizziness, these are quickly becoming some of my favorite types of films to watch.

Where this film excels is the unforeseeable arc of the main character. You never really know what he is going to do next... what he is capable of doing next. The audience gets yet another view point of the contrast between absolute power corrupting and the spirit of mercy and compassion championing. We even see the balance point between the two extremes which led to some comedic in-depth truths about our human nature. Thanks to superb writing and an incredible editing room, most will be on the proverbial edge of their seat waiting for the conclusion.
Can't wait for the unedited/Directors cut Bluray!
