I watched this movie last night... Elderly man perfectly capable of building a house on his own land to help care for his wife has to fight for the right to do what he wants with, and on, his own property. And pay surmountable fees on top of it all..... Based on a true story (of course). :(

    I remember him as Zephram Cochran, the inventor of the hyperdrive in Star Trek: First Contact and as Prince Philip in The Queen; a very versatile actor, indeed. He also played the man behind positronic robots in I, Robot, the movie based upon the Asimov classic. I think he is still alive.

    No one own anything except governments.

    We pay for it

    We pay a lease on it to the government

    We pay fees to do anything with it, and even after paying the fees get told we cant do what we want in the way we want.

    When we die we pay for it again due to estate taxes.

    The answer is just do not earn more than you really need to live. Your punished if you do anything more than that. What a world, what a world....

    Haven't seen it, but James Cromwell is one of the best character actors filmdom has produced. We shall give it a look.

    I adored him too... he also played Jane Austen's father in Becoming Jane. I didn't know he died last year though :*(

    I loved this movie. James Cromwell has a beautiful, strong face. Here's another great eminent domain movie:The Castle, Australian. 1992. A strong message of freedom, served up with humor. Great courtroom scene.

    Maybe my subsequent review with a 10 rating boosted it...although I don't think that math adds up...and I don't care enough to figure it out...LOL

    Sounds like more than a few echoes of "Calumet 'K'". Will have to see if it's available "somewhere".

    Of course the opposition in "Calumet 'K'" was a private company. These days, it's "the government".

    The Hollywood libtard establishment must feel indignant when anyone would put together a flick that could be so anti Big Brother.
    Comrade citizens, be anti-corporation if you must make a movie that is anti-anything.
    New names are being added to "do not invite to a cocktail party" lists. Comrade citizens, will it be you?

    No, evil twin, why would I want to hang out with pompous airheads?

    It does now. When that person posted it said 4.8 and I'm guessing it should have been higher. It could have just been a glitche but I wonder if some losers gave it a real low score on purpose to bring the average down???

    I'll have to check this out. I was reading thru the reviews and they were excellent. A strange point. One of the reviewers noted at one point that most reviews gave it 8 stars or higher and the rating shown was 4.8. It has since increased but that sounded strange to me.
