a5c7b9f00b Religious conspiracy collides with urban crime in a story told from multiple perspectives. Spies, cops, holy fools and well-armed children cross paths on a day of danger, mystery and possible transformation. &#39;The Power of Few&#39; unfolds over twenty minutes on one New Orleans afternoon, experienced through the lives of five unusual characters who unknowingly are connected to an extraordinary smuggling operationreligious conspiracy collides with urban crime. This has just become one of my favorite all-time movies, and I have seen almost ALL of them.<br/><br/>I may not opt to repeat-watch this the way I do, say, &quot;Gravity&quot;, but I highly recommend this to people who appreciate a story that examines the moments in real life under a microscope, with a bit of romantic license thrown in to keep it interesting.<br/><br/>After all, what is this life all about, if not a series of decisive moments, with lessons learned, replays of how it might have been, and the deep regret that we didn&#39;t always learn the lessons quite soon enough.<br/><br/>This movie poses the question of what an alternative life could be like if we simply practiced personal &quot;Acts of Random Kindness&quot; (&quot;ARK&quot;, ala &quot;Evan Almighty&quot;), in the humanistic sense. In other words, should we react to situations with our brain stems (sense) or our higher intelligence (sensibility).<br/><br/>Wikipedia Definition: SENSIBILITY - Sensibility refers to an acute perception of or responsiveness toward something, suchthe emotions of another.<br/><br/>BStabile ….some very tricky film editing and direction to make the pieces fit and after the first ensemble one begins to see where it might be going and then the surpriseit concludes.<br/><br/>Along the lines of &#39;A Day In The Life&#39; except here it&#39;s all but 20 minutes. Walken still has his chops working. Pulp Fiction compressed and in some ways a lot more indelible i.e. few excesses just decisions we can or choose not to make and the consequences when we choose the right or wrong way.<br/><br/>The little girl stole the film - that&#39;s all I can say w.o. divulging more.
