** 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 was given the tremendous honour of previewing this film. This is a piece of work that I have patiently been waiting 2+ years to see, and I was not disappointed in any way. Ms. McGuire has written, and Mr. Degus has delivered, a contemporary sketch of humanity stripped down to the essentials.This is a story of two men and one woman, fending for themselves in the aftermath of significant terrorist attacks on major cities in the US. The viewer voyeuristically watches the layers of humanity peel back. The sense of entitlement gives way to desperation for basic human needs.It's an unsettling concept to consider ourselves becoming refugees of sorts...so much so, the average person refuses to even entertain such an idea. This film provokes those thoughts...just how far would you go?While the suggestion was being made, the lesson being learned, I was thoroughly entertained by the fierce and intense performances of this trio of actors. They bled their roles. On so many levels and at different times you loved and hated each character. Their ability to evoke those emotions is a testament to the performers' deep-seated talents, and the skill of their director to elicit that intensity from each actor for their character.The setting, simple yet sufficient, was the fourth character. It leant much to the tale at hand, at times becoming more important than the people inhabiting it. The music was the fifth and most poignant character, drawing out the passion of the subject matter in a very subtle manner.9/Tenths cannot be categorized as a "feel good" movie. Yet it's an important story portrayed in a bold, skillful and artistic manner. I highly recommend this film.Mianne Tripp, RN

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
