As films about moles go this is a masterwork. do not be put off by its shortness for its beauty is insuppressible.

Forget taking the kids to see Finding Nemo or Toy Story just order this taste of magic from the invaders of our distant sheep outpost for a great night in (if you watch it repeatedly).

I cant wait for some sequels to this much loved children's classic. This film has single handedly taught my two young ones Spanish as a second language and forgiveness for both the hand of God incident and that unfortunate war.

In summary treat yourselves to a copy of this family favorite.

Don't listen to the pooh pooh brigade who read the front cover and think this was going to be top gun for the digital age. It is in fact a psychologically taut study of the human condition when stripped to the bones. Yes this could very easily be transported to the stage but this is not a detracting factor (resevoir dogs anyone). James Sikking is superb as Hal in a role that fits him as well as his great hill street blues days (he infuriates you but you still care for him). As the nightmarish scenario unfolds the claustrophobia rises and your choices of possible endgame's runs out of control. Then bang you make the final approach towards the undeniable conclusion. Shiver tingle damn that was the answer all along "i knew it, i think". Press rewind watch again with hindsight and clear vision this piece will unfurl like a flag before you. So lights off volume up and eyes peeled lets try and crack this confrontation before times up.
