How To Handle 'Intelligence'
5 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This was an interesting tale of a man who subtly gets intelligence (through a reverse brain tumor) and how his small-town friends react and handle the situation. There are some good comments in here about the times we live in. This would be better without six usages of the Lord's name in vain but basically, the language is pretty tame for a modern-day movie.

This was a simple, low-key story, definitely worth a rental. Kyra Sedgewick doesn't make for an appealing female lead but you don't always have to have drop-dead gorgeous women play leads.

I had heard this had a very sad ending, but I did not find that. A decent movie overall, just not that memorable.
