1 out of 5 stars Some reviews appear to be self-marketing and/or inaccurate.......2006-09-14

Some of the reviews for this movie appear to be self-marketing attempts. The language used in these reviews is remarkably similar and the "reviewers" often only have reviewed this one movie. This is highly unusual. In addition, at least two reviewers included a reference to the 2002 Telluride Film Festival, perhaps to give it an air of authenticity. Upon checking, however, this was NOT one of the movies on the program during that year. I didn't check other years, but this certainly calls into question the validity of these "reviewers". Please proceed at your own risk.

3 out of 5 stars an honest attempt.......2006-09-14

I thought this picture was an honest attempt to dig deeper into the human psychie. It's not perfect by any means but it has something to say about society and the human condition. Those "reviewers" who complain about it being sold by "spammers" are just bitching about nothing. So what if the picture is being advertised by mass market media? That does not take away from what the film is trying to say and it is no reason to dump on the picture....One would almost think the complainers had a personel ax to grind with those who made the picture....What, you didn't get cast in it?

1 out of 5 stars Avoid!.......2006-09-11

Spammers are promoting this movie with mass emails. Do not purchase! Some of the gushing reviews below look like fakes written by spammers as well.

4 out of 5 stars Open your mind, open your life.......2006-06-26

Dan (director) does a marvelous job or creating some really wonderful scenes in a life opening indie film. Dan has a real touch when it comes to creating scenes that give the viewer real insights into the character. One of my favorite scenes is Daniel going to and from his office. Each time he trudges up the hill he carries more and more files etc. until his little cart, rolls over from the burden into the street. Another favorite scene is the creditors coming to the door. The casting is great and the actors are very convincing. Dan wrote, directed and plays the lead character no easy feat. But, he pulls it off well. The transformation of Daniel is a life opening experience that shows the power of Buddhism in a well crafted manner.

5 out of 5 stars Thought about this film for days!.......2006-02-11

This film kept my interest throughout. Dan, as a lawyer really had to deal with a lot! The way his clients were depicted was a real eye opener!
Between his professional life and his personal life, Daniel really was walking a tightrope. The film depicts very well what can happen when we have too much going on in our lives

I was left with a feeling of admiration for what they all went through and the outcome.
I would recommend it to anyone especially those that are going through tough times.
