WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Platypuschow I immediatly found myself engrossed into The Lesser Evil, it's strong cast and fascinating plot gripped me and I expected something really quite special.Alas it wasn't to be, but the film certainly does have it's merits regardless.It has a real Stephen King feel to it, telling the story of 4 friends who meet up for the first time in 20yrs and are forced to face their sins. Set across both present and flashbacks I'm almost surprised it's not Kings work.Starring several industry veterans including Colm "Storm of the Century" Feore and David Paymer along with current popular comedy star Adam Scott the performances were never going to be in question.The plot starts off strong but starts to struggle, by the end it's devoid of originality and the fascination had long since waned.This is one of those films that genuinely saddened me as I hoped for something really quite good here. It's still interesting and the cast are fantastic, but it feels like potential not only squandered but thoroughly butchered.The Good:Some competent writingThe Bad:Some of the young to old casting is awfulLoses steamNaff finale which doesn't really make much senseThings I Learnt From This Movie:Religion isn't part of reality, wait no I already knew that

merklekranz The plot is excellent, the execution somewhat confusing, and the surprising ending totally acceptable. I enjoyed "The Lesser Evil", but constantly found myself questioning who was who, as the film bounced back and forth between present day, and twenty two years earlier. Boldly depending on four teenage friends to keep a lifelong secret, the plan eventually spirals out of control, leading to paranoia, double crosses, and another murder. The outcome is always in doubt, which maintains interest through the entire 96 minutes. David Paymer is a standout as the lawyer who seems intent on self preservation rather than commitment to his cronies in crime. - MERK

rooster-9 I found this film to be one of substance that is sure to endure. The plot comes complete with solid characterization and twists that must be kept a secret. As a film savvy viewer, I feel that this film makes use of smart direction and very good action, especially from the relatively unknown young actors. It was engaging and certainly a worthy

og-6 A great movie that forces you to think. The characters aren't simply drawn in black and white, but deal in complex shades of grey. The film kept me guessing up to the very last scene. Whatever you do don't walk away from the television without pausing your VCR or you'll miss an important clue to the mysteries that the film unravels.
