This really is a very good movie. Made by HBO Films in 1987 - it should have received more attention (the subject matter was popular at the time). Powers Boothe's performance is wonderful and C. Thomas Howell does a good job. Some scenes are powerful and emotional. I can't hear the song 'Ain't No Sunshine' without thinking about this film - (Boothe sings a bit of it in one scene). While this film would not be considered Oscar worthy - it is a movie I enjoy every time I see it and I can watch Boothe without seeing Jim Jones in him. I have shared this film with many people and they all agree it is worth seeing. I wish HBO would release this film on DVD!
