Paul Byrnes

The film's approach to violence is unflinching: this is what poor people are doing to each other with the guns the West sells them, it screams -- but there's no suggestion it might be stopped, or slowed. [More]

Why should it be suggested that arms dealing will stop or slow? If you need a warm, fuzzy "everything's gonna be alright" ending, stick with Disney films.

Of course there is no suggsetion it might be stopped... thats the entire point of the film.

This movie is deeply moving, a real eye opener.

This movie just brings up the problem, it doesn't try to shove it in our face. It's far more subtle not to have an explanation at the end, when we know damn well that smuggling firearms are bad, we don't need the movie telling us so.

Alas, "stopped or slowed" is Paul Byrnes' agenda, as is voting down a movie not in line with his agenda.
