Whilst I will contend it is professionally done , the actors are terrific and there are times when one can laugh and cry, the sound effects and cars and background completley absorb you. ,

The concept though is not a realistic one, since the message isn't clear about how this boy turned out the way he did Confused

.

Is it kosher well it depends who u ask? It is tznius in all aspects YES, It does not use language that we wouldn't want our kids to hear YES, However it is violent . Exclamation

Anyone-else saw it?

Tzena it has only frum shomer actors spoken in yiddish with english and ivrit subtitles. I am not sure the producer made in Monsey I believe and has quite a few chassidshe guys aka long payos on there.

I have mixed feelings about it personally but imo if kids need to watch something with a toichendika ending let them watch this better then somethng like agent emes which glorisizes chutzpa shock

Eh - it has no moral, no Yidishe taam, and who would actually go ahead and kill a pregnant woman? It's way too violent. Didnt care for it.

IMO, it was a very silly stupid movie. Absolutely no point whatsoever. Some scenes were good but other than that Puke

My husband worked on it just for the extra money and experience when he was a bocher. I watch a few parts that he worked on and the actors look very fake and the whole quality isnt professional.

I know some of the actors too... one of them is my next door neighbor, in fact Very Happy

. Aaron Mintz is a professional actor. I'm curious who the guy who played the main character is - he was amazing (the bad guy).

ahh, I couldn't put my finger on what was bothering me about Agent E. I think you've identified it.

On the other hand this talks about a murder and though no weapons were used a frightening call is what killed her and this bad guy had no remorse so perhaps this is worse. Confused

Sure. He was a main actor in 1993, a significant actor in 1992, and a nice part in the Hasc MBC play.
