I really enjoyed the movie. The story lines were really deep and controversal and I at first after listening to people who viewed the movie before I did went in with mixed reviews of course even before seeing it. I stayed after the movie was over to watch to the bitter end even the credit. TP thank you again for another movie for "Black Wormen"
