Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Blistering performances.

** before reading - I didn't know which words were 'prohibited' - so I changed everything that might have been thus some sentences sound a little funny - please use your imagination ****** Because thats probably the only thing in this film that cost them money. No but seriously, - long story short, a post-apocalypse film and how all of a sudden the only thing that matters are survival skills and some stuff about role reversal - poor man becomes the rich man due to his survival skills etc. etc. The wealthy couple rightfully owns a farm which the ranch hand steals by force and then the ranch hand steals the man's wife. Honestly, I feel for the wealthy man and really hoped he would just kill the ranch hand which he had every right and opportunity to do. There are so many moments where I was just screaming at the screen telling him to swing an ax or knife at the unsuspecting ranch hand. The whole plot is stupid and does not many any realistic or logical sense. If I were in his situation I'd just kill one of the sheep and eat it. pardon my language - this movie really annoyed me off.But what annoyed me off even more was the OBVIOUS heart that is bleeding blueism **** that is the underlying message of this film. Honestly, in a post-apocalypse world - yes, survival skills, being good at hard manual labor is more valuable than any professional degree - but WE Don't LIVE IN SUCH A WORLD!! Thats why poor people are poor. If I had a ton of copper and tried to sell it to you at the same price as gold with the excuse 'in some hypothetical world copper is the rarest metal and is necessary for the production of the most advanced technologies' would you buy it? NO WAY.So please - get real - and sorry, pardon the blunt nature of my review, but honestly, these movies peeve me.

This is quite possibly the worst film I have EVER SEEN.....I read the reviews and thought that as some people had given it 10 out of 10 it would have some substance....how wrong could I be??? After about an hour I seriously thought that I had witnessed the most pathetic loser of a character ever in the history of film making.... The concept of the film is quite good....the actual film and the end product is terrible. I fast forwarded the last quarter of this film because I was laughing so much at how pathetic it was, but felt I really should make it to the end....why did I do that??? The ending is as bad as the rest of the film. There are NO redeeming features of this trash....apart from the initial idea/story which was OK, just a shame the outcome was so bad. Do yourselves a favour and avoid this film like the plague.

I gave this movie a 5 because the film had decent actors who played believable roles in moments in the film, beat by beat, when situations seemed inhumanly disloyal and emotionally chaotic, they pulled off good scenes consistently. The plot and story itself is loosely constructed around the 3 strong characters who develop throughout the film. Also some of film is simply inconsistently edited and a few scenes appear chopped up out of sequence noticeably. Fortunately, this only happens a few times in the movie, about halfway in and towards the end of the film.Overall, it's worth a watch if you like TV like dramas such as Flight 93/United 93 and similar.

On Saturday, February 25th, 2006, in the beautiful city of Sedona, I had the privilege to view the film 9/TENTHS-a gripping story about the will to survive at whatever costs. They say any type of warfare is hell, including terrorist activity. You have everything, and before you know it, it gets taken away. How will you manage? As the tag line reads, "How far will you go to survive?" This is the premise of the film-the choices one makes, to survive.Terrorist attacks on big cities cause the white collar, William (Henry Ian Cusick) and his wife, Jessica (Gabrielle Anwar) to relocate to their newly purchased ranch in the middle of nowhere. When they arrive, they find ranch hand, Elias (David L. Ortiz), already living there. As they battle over the property, massive attacks by terrorists destroy the outside world they once knew. What happens to necessities? What happens to class? What happens to law? What happens in the end...you decide.All three actors, Anwar, Cusick and the extremely handsome, Ortiz, were exceptional in their roles. Writer Michele McGuire's well-written characters are dynamic and their arcs, very intriguing. The rest is left to be fleshed out by the director and actors. The characters are very much human. At times you love a certain character, other times you were disappointed and felt a little bit or pity or hatred towards him/her. The lovely and talented Anwar helps carry the film with her sincere and revealing portrayal of Jessica. Watching it, I kept thinking, "What would I do?"The music of this film, composed by Brian Ralston, is a character as well. It is a driving force. Whether it is dramatic underscore, terrific flamenco arrangements or a beautiful recurring soprano voice, the music keeps the film's action moving and intense.Unlike many films being made today, this film by director, Bob Degus, actually has a few things to say. What will you hear? It would be a mistake to miss this brutally honest and intriguing piece of work.-B.K. Vargas
