Plot:
The bloodcurdling horror continues with footage too shocking for theatres! When the most vivious killers in the country escape from a prison transport bus, Three Finger and his family of cannibalistics mutants may have met their match!

If I told you that this one was made in Bulgaria do you think "great! It is a sure sign of quality"? I hope not cause it isn't a good movie at all. Kind of hard to appreciate a "film" with no likeable characters, acted by a bunch of nobody, directed by someone with no talent and filmed by a director of photography who don't know that you must light a scene when you shoot at night. Really this film is ridiculous from the beginning to the end... A chance it was in a set with the first two, but I sure ain't that anxious to see the last two.

The Ides of March, a review by Antares

The Ides of March (2011) 3/5 - Maybe it's just me, but I like my political films to have a little bit of bite to them. And that is what is sadly missing from this film. It's all a little too neat and the story just doesn't suck you in the way a good political drama should. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti are great as usual, but the other actors are pretty blah and seem to be just going through the motions. Maybe this is what Clooney was looking for, but it makes for a rather ho hum film.

A good episode. Ryan Phillipe appears in an early role. I always liked the interaction between Fraser and his father. This episode is not exception.
