How to put ideas into the heads of the dumb
28 June 2013
OK this film is good and well worth watching. The final message after you go through all the video game theatricals is powerful and should come as quite a surprise. However...

Although I feel the film is being aimed at young people, instead of influential adults. Young people cannot change anything for 20-50 years, and that's only for a lucky few.

When in reality we really need the laws/state of the war on drugs, to change within the next 5-10 years! So the documentary could have been a bit less obvious and more informative. "Lesson 1" "Mission complete" all these aspects were total b.s. and totally not needed.

This will just be like "Band Aid" was to Africa (a total waste of time.) Putting high paid actors on it was totally not necessary either. More of the "real" people being affected would have been better in my opinion.

Due to the style of this film a lot of important families/people will not even get/want to see it, preferring to avoid it in the extreme cases. Which to me, defeats the purpose of the film's end message/goal.

So I gave it 6 out of 10 for the good performances by the characters and because of the knowledge it delivered. Yet even 6 seems too high, for the more I think and analyse its content the more of a farce the film seems and in actuality it's just another cash crop from the fields of unexperienced dummies.

First watch I liked it though, after lots of thought second watch was avoided. Film became not liked.
