Moviecut—White Rabbit

Kerryann ( Carla Pauli) Returns from Iraq with a touch of PTSD. She misses being wanted and part of a group. Alone, she is vulnerable. Her vulnerability allows her to form partnerships with a crooked cop (Eric Michael Kochmer) and crooked car dealer ( James Anthony Cotton). They conspire to use her military skills from the Signal Corp for their own personal gain. Kerryann, our moody protagonist, you either understand or hate. She is not overly cuddly and likable, but part of you sympathizes with her. Her code name was "white rabbit" quick and late. This is a film that takes a negative view of the Tea Party, while at the same time not endorsing and other party or platform. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity

A low budget groaner only made into a movie to demonize the Tea Party. Politically motivated drivel at its worst. If they made it about the Democratic or Republican parties then at least it would be believable. WHITE RABBIT is a gritty crime thriller about a veteran of the Iraq War, Kerryann Terkel. Back home, Kerryann battles Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as she tries to establish a stable civilian life. Instead, she gets tangled up in the schemes of a corrupt cop and his Tea Party sidekick, who exploit her military training to pull off a heist involving cell phone hacking at a political rally. The crime forces Kerryann to confront violent wartime memories - and her new domestic enemies. WHITE RABBIT is about what happens when war comes home.

9 of 10. It may seem like an ordinary vet after the war film as it starts out, but the vet being a young woman and a hacker, whether she realizes it or not, helps to give it a new twist. Eventually, as she meets more people and her skills and openness to help others expand, the story develops some unexpected plot lines and dangers. It also turns out that bows and arrows have more uses in films still beyond hunger games. It's a deeply underrated film, probably because the actors aren't well known and it didn't have any significant build up. The lack of production money also leaves it feeling a little like a TV film at times, but never enough to make you want to switch to a different channel. Tune in and ignore the static.

*SPOILER ALERT* What a whopper of a B movie at best. Scripting - okay. Lighting - okay. Set dressing - okay. All the mechanistic film making ingredients are okay but the end result is a cake that should never have been baked. The leading lady goes from being a (very) badly PTSD disabled woman to a half wit or rather an unquestioning dimwit as the 'story' progresses as it does from one unbelievable situation to the next even more unbelievable situation. If you want to see the absolute ultimate in clichéd corrupt cop antics do not miss this film. If you enjoy trying to make sense out of nonsense do not miss this film. If you can suspend disbelief for what, 87 minutes - do not miss this film. Otherwise save your money, time and emotional anguish and go watch some paint dry which would be entertaining compared to this (sorry writer/producer/director) rubbish. I gave it 2 stars for the sheer number of clichés the screenwriter managed to include - I didn't think so many could possibly be crammed into a single movie.
