How many times have you seen PVS?


Can anyone tell me why this movie is so unpopular? When I saw it for the first time, it blew me away. Far better than some fluff that actually makes its way into the theater. But I'm disappointed by the lack of posts. I mean, its not a bad movie. It was Jonathan Brandis's last movie and considering the fact that we will never see that fine young man in anything else, ever, I would like someone to pick it up and give it a whirl and see what this world is missing. The movie was shelved for three years when swill starring blonde tributes to stupidity (Paris and Jessica, this means you!) are quickly put out even when the studio heads know the movie reeks like a porto-potty. So I don't know about anyone else, but the film has strong performances by Scott Glenn and Harvey Keitel. And Jonathan shouldn't be ashamed of his own work. He gives a fine if not, nuanced performance as a CIA hit man trainee. His role may have been small, but it packs quite a punch. Maybe I just miss him, but I like seeing him in this last performance. He's quite handsome at 26 when this movie was made. Maybe a little thinner but no less striking. The world had no idea what it lost when he took his life, and so he will not be forgotten I do watch his movies from time to time because unlike those who knew him, I certainly appreciate what he had to offer. So to anyone who was a fan just pick it up and just watch his scenes if you must, you won't regret it and somehow let him know he's not forgotten.
