Published by Gold Hill Music Inc (BMI),I found this flick a great watch especially if you watch at night in the dark with you favorite significant other. I'm sure the high paced super action type of film favored by the teen plus group will find this movie not worth the watch. But if your attention span is greater than 3 minutes this is a very good film. The only issue I had was with the very ending. I wanted to know more and an explanation that was clearer than what I could figure. It's worth a watch.,
