{netflix} land of the blind (2006)

Ralph Fiennes stars as an idealistic soldier whose illicit friendship with political prisoner Thorne (Donald Sutherland) leads him to rise against his country's totalitarian government in this allegorical satire. But after Thorne, an outspoken critic of corruption, persuades Joe (Fiennes) to lead a coup d'etat, Joe learns the true price of power. Set in an unnamed place and time, Land of the Blind makes a potent statement about modern politics.

My rating: * Horrible. I stopped it 30 minutes in, which is rare because even if a movie is crap I'll suffer through it. This just couldn't hold my attention.
