"The Crazies" shines a spotlight on a true talent that is often left out of most recent films; rural Americans ability to edify (www.m-w.com) the 2nd amendment. The lead, Timothy Olyphant, does his part to try and anchor the movie, but is quite limited by the script. However, the movie is lifted to new heights by Russell Clark, (Joe Anderson) and his ability to dish out "red state justice." The levels of Clark really come through with Anderson; even up until his atonement, when he will be compared to other atoners in history, i.e. Jesus Christ.
The movie took a turn for the worst with the director’s perverse need to curb CHRISTIAN values which run strong in rural America. Take the scene in which our leads find themselves at a truck stop, and decide to help themselves to supplies and water. Do our lead roles feel the need to purchase these items? No, they don't. In times such as a potential apocalyptic future; the strongest support system IS their strong upbringing of CHRISTIAN values and morals.
Does the director expect audiences to believe that Americans are so quick to forget what makes us strong as a nation? Stealing is wrong, no matter what the situation entails. The youth of America will probably see this movie, and think it is somehow "rad" or "tubular" to steal things. I like my horror films to be agenda free, how they were before the liberals took them over and decided to force feed me propaganda through their well paid Hollywood fat-cats. I'm going to suggest you pass on "The Crazies" due to the filmmakers flat out ignorance, and assumption that American movie goers lack the intellect to spot the films plot holes and its need to glamorize theft.
