an essay on the gentle art of spin and of argument
than it is as a story."

"Films about moral issues are not uncommon. Films that leave the questions open are considerably rarer. This film trusts the viewer to make his own moral judgements as well as dramatizing a nearly forgotten chapter of history."

"J. A. Steel who writes, directs, stars, and even
edits the film. The result is a film in which a
lot of things almost work to make a cliched action
film."

"[The film] tarts very strong and its jibes are both on target and laugh-out-loud funny. But the tone of the film subtly alters during the course of the film and while the plot is tied up at the end, the climax is just a bit quiet and under-powered."
