    CIVIC DUTY

    by NYCReview

    Saw this movie at a Time Out NY screening in Manhattan. All I can say is WHAT A RIDE! Peter Krause brings it. I sat their biting my nails, hiding like a little kid with my eyes behind my hand. The suspense will kill you and you'll never watch the news the same way. It freaked me out!!!

  • Go

    For serious thinkers!
