This movie could be so close to the true that it's scare. The characters are amazingly realistic. The people in nursing homes are so forgotten that their environment become a separate existence, a world apart from reality. Some people may feel that some of the treatment of the patients are cruel, but you have to weigh that against the loneliness of having no one notice you for days. Give this film a try. Then talk to your kids about how your never want to be in a nursing home, under any circumstances. Because of the use of pot, this film is not appropriate for younger people. Remember that the care takers get minimum wage and would be better of working at McDonalds or Burger King.
This movie has you guessing what's happening to who and why from the very beginning. Very clever plot and too clever to include spoilers. Stick with it, and you will be surprised. Enjoy the authentic California gold rush settings and a very interesting cast. Electro-shock therapy for pain and profit, gives Jeremy (Jason Michael Fong) a buzz, but does he really know anything worth 20,000 volts of P.G.& E.'s finest vintage AC/DC. The wide variety of characters provides someone for everyone, especially if you like blonde cuteys. Can anyone go up against the Chupacabras and survive? You'll have to see this one through to find out!! mrpentax gives at least one thumb up (or maybe seven, if I were a Chupacabra).
This is an incredible piece of work. Each step of the way is carefully explained: who and why it is correct, who and why the competing theories were wrong, and how it lead to the next step. What's the value of knowing that there are galaxies millions of light years away and black holes?: Just knowing. And, if you can identify with that, you have to see this series.
