No Turning Back

Pros: great 1st indie film; subtle political rebukes throughout
Cons: contains the typical stereotyped Native American character

Recently, I had the opportunity to meet the brains behind the lens of "No Turning Back" at an independant filmmakers' symposium sponsored by the PTB's on my campus and I was very impressed with not only the director's conduct, but his finished film as ...

Pros: This movie will touch you in ways you won't expect. Very inspirational!
Cons: This is Nebot's first film...bummer!! I'll be anxiously looking out for his next project!

One of the best films I've seen this year! With the market being so over saturated with typical 'good guy, bad guy' Hollywood movies, it's a refreshing change to run into a movie that so beautifully captures humanity. Thank you to the director for taking on such a tough subject and not forcing you to feel a certain way about the subject matter but allowing you to experience all sides of the conflict. The acting is wonderful on so many levels. The Jesus Nebot as the father and Susan Haskell as the victim's mother specifically give knockout performances. The story will keep you on the edge of your seat. The added benefit being that it'll touch your heart on a deep level. It's no wonder this film has won so many awards. If you're not convinced, go check out the film's website at www.noturningback.com for the trailer.
