Dark Heart (2006) DVDRip Xvid
Do you support our troops by just putting a bumper sticker "Support Our Troops"??? Kevin Lewis' film (which I saw at Method Fest'06) is a bleakest and most disillusioned vision of what happens to war veterans when they return home. It's a haunting movie that stays with you for a long time and makes you think really hard about that yellow bumper sticker that you pasted on your car and never thought too much about it. I must say the movie shook me to the core. I really enjoyed how pure and uncompromised the director's vision is, and how gritty and un-Hollywood the movie felt. I liked its visual style and pace, especially the lighting and hues, because they all made me experience the inner world of the veterans. Some of writing was pretty intense. Plenty of food for thought. Also, a few genuine surprises and twists. Awesome acting, especially from Taylor, Finn and the out-of-control cop. I highly recommend this film. It has a very contemporary feel, look, and resonates with our times. I only hope that most war veterans do not experience such sense of being disposable and forgotten, but even if one soldier did, it's a shame on our society.
