Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Sluggish and not nearly sordid enough. Rated: C+ May 16, 2006 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A routine story that is more about a depiction of the American drive for material success than an exposé newspaper story. Rated: B- Mar 25, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

nick s Quite a well told story. It was easy to guess where it was going, yet it wasn't too cliche. Some of the cinematography and blocking was a little lifeless but the acting overall was great. Well worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
