Synopsis: A New York assistant district attorney investigates the death of an AIDS-stricken homosexual following a streak of similar deaths that may possibly have been assisted suicides.
Appraisal: Slow-moving and clearly agenda-driven, this film is not hard to watch but has barely any dramatic depth other than that which is required to advance the cause of the legalization of assisted suicide. Unlike the similarly themed It's My Party, this doesn't have engaging characters or a dynamic pace. Another recent film that tries to make a case for euthanasia is Mar adentro (aka The Sea Inside). In a way, it's good that the theme is being openly addressed. Let's hope that the legislators do something about it, in the so-called civilized countries in the world.
