Atlas Shrugged part 2

Atlas Shrugged Part 2: The Strike directed by John Putch, starring Samantha Mathis, Jason Beghe, and Esai Morales.

This is by no means a great movie but I found the second part of this story line as completely compelling as the first part.  Especially as the political climate in our country seems to be trying really hard to mirror the political climate of this movie.  The similarities are that shocking, and all of this from a book written in the 1957, which needless to say was very prophetic. 

This is just a movie to be watched if you're in the mood for something a little different because I can no way guarantee you're going to like it.  But the storyline was what clicked for me, the acting and production are by no means a great thing.  Then again I was raised on the wobbly sets and man in rubber suits of the old Dr. Who and still have a huge fondness for that show.  This movie falls into the Dr. Who category with ease, that in my opinion, holds try to about anything artistic: you make either a compelling story line or interesting characters and everything else that happens doesn't have to be perfect the story line or characters will carry everything forward.
