When Kris Kristofferson talks he's just regurgitating his role in the "Blood Orchid" movie as in 'shoulda coulda donna' I liked him in a "Star is Born," but he lost any credibility with me when he acted in "Blood Orchid" and I am unforgiving when it comes to the Massie Case. I saw your movie and it's a sorts of .... I hope the critques sees that notion and consider the whole and not the parts. The 'whole' as in the sovereignty of our nation that is what it should be judged on so that the nation comes out as a whole and not bit's and pieces scattered into the minds of the audience. Kaohi
