Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

aevh59 When we first see the Keyman, it's clear that something catastrophic has happened, and that this thing-whatever it was-has broken him completely. As the movie progresses, we learn what it was that happened...I was truly moved by Adam Baldwin's performance as this seriously mentally disturbed man carrying an unbearable burden of guilt.His character was full of little tics and quirks; constantly muttering to himself as he goes about his day, trying to find that one, missing key.It's difficult for me to describe how absolutely spot-on he was in some of the Keyman's behaviors; one scene where he's sitting at a desk, quietly rocking, darn near broke me.Adam Baldwin is a good actor; but his size, and physical condition-buff, very buff-tend to lock him into roles where he's the Big, and Strong One...So, it was really something to see him in a role where he wasn't so tough, or strong...Tom Wright was also a revelation as Popeye, with his devotion to Oprah, and his terror of "Mr. Prickles"(?) The scene where he confessed to Karen Myers that he knew that Mr. Prickles lay in everyone was just so true, as Mr. Prickles is merely the dark side of all our natures Well done! Vandevere
Wyobar54 I finally got to see the Keyman; Finding Redemption and I have to say that it was worth the wait.I wish that this movie was more readily available for purchase. I really loved this film...it is one of those rare films which stays in your mind long after watching. The last scenes just blew me away! Adam Baldwin was incredible in this role...he played it just right & I believed his emotional response. Thank you to the director for taking on such a difficult topic and doing it with such finesse. How this movie missed being the dark horse film I will never know. I think it needs to be released again and soon.
singingbird_VD 'The Keyman: Finding Redemption' is one of the most touching movies I have ever seen. I could tell the director put a lot of time and effort into making this film come to life. The whole cast was outstanding and true to reality. I felt I could connect with them on many levels.Adam Baldwin stood out to me the most. He portrayed a tortured soul so well that throughout the whole movie I wanted to help him in any way I could. I felt his character's pain and guilt from beginning to end. Director Daniel Millican's choice for the Keyman was perfect and I don't think anyone else could have played it as wonderfully as Adam did.In my mind this movie deserves an Oscar for best film and an Oscar for best actor. I truly feel that all the people in reach of a V.C.R or DVD player should see this beautiful movie and the beautiful people who brought it to life.
jarthur-3 After first viewing The Gunman, I went searching for more movies by Daniel Millican. After viewing Keyman, which I believe is Millican's best work yet, my outlook on family, human nature and society making judgements on one another based on appearances alone has changed completely. The story was heart-wrenching, thought-provoking and has opened lines of communication within our family between parents and teenagers alike. I found the movie entertaining, while at the same time deeply disturbing, a story in contrasts that I would recommend to everyone, particularly parents with children of impressionable age - my daughter has plans to introduce the movie to her high school classmates through in-class viewing with discussion. Don't miss this one, thank you so much Daniel Millican for sharing your vision.
