A. O. Scott looks at the relationship between humans and the natural world in Terrence Malick’s war drama.
Dead DreamsGenre: Thriller Director: Josh Koffman Stars: Corey Sevier, Christian Potenza, Amber Goldfarb Rate: * 1/2It’s hard to be too hard on a homegrown horror movie like Dead Dreams, but low budget forgiveness aside, the flick is a chore to endure.
This gut wrenching true story, Shake Hands with the Devil, reminded me a lot of Hotel Rwanda, but that isn’t a bad thing. The film brings to light more of the atrocities, reasons for war and the intimidation the UN peace keepers had to face. Incredible good filming presents the era, country and it’s people realistically both in a period of adjustment and conflict. I liked this film very much and recommend it highly to those who want a taste of Director Roger Spottiswoode suspense filled storytelling.
