It reminded me of a cross between: Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970) and Adaptation (2002). I liked it and found it challenged me on different levels...sometimes it made me squirm, sometimes I thought it was funny, mostly I was awed by how brazen the subject matter was. And I think they handled that subject matter intelligently.
I'll be interested in seeing how others view this. The idea that the college grads come up with and the execution of that idea, is alone worth watching the film for...I loved that the director goes to great lengths to add several seemingly unimportant layers to the film that give it a certain amount of quirkiness. Like the tomatoes! What an idea! I'm not sure why that was done in the film, and I don't care as it added something spicy. So did the dark themed paintings we see at the beginning of the film, not to mention the whole investigation for the missing girl and the small town sheriff lady.
This was one of the most interesting films I've seen in a long time.
The Last Supper (1995)
I suspect this could be a polarizing film for some. I certainly experienced a lot of different emotions while watching this. At times I didn't know how to feel about this movie, it's certainly daring.Director: Stacy Title

Cast: Cameron Diaz, Ron Eldard, Annabeth Gish
Genre: Comedy, Crime, Drama

"A group of idealistic, but frustrated, liberals succumb to the temptation of murdering rightwing pundits for their political beliefs."
