leethomas-11621 Interesting aspects but missing a core. Certain parts seem tamed down, especially teacher Leonard's story. He mostly just sits around reading. Dina's story not easy to understand. Guessed some of the historical story. Acting and production top notch. Accents not easy to understand. Basically I guess its very hard to like these people.

M MALIK this is such a incredibly boring film from start to end nothing exiting happens i expected some action but none of that came,starts as a very dramatic film about long running violence in family,civil war & drugs etc what bugged me was the dull acting & terrible dialogs the narrative just don't move the pace is slow plus where is the chemistry between actors besides who are these actors everyone seem trying hard to act like Robert De Niro here and what was Minka Kelly doing here didn't she read the script there is absolutely nothing for her role here just 15 minutes before the climax she goes a little insane and does her best crazy mad acting after that nothing happens the whole film you sit through hoping climax would be exiting but no you feel cheated it robs you completely almost everything is terrible here i like good suspense films but this is just some lame wannabe film what genre this falls into is beyond me critics would love this for sure but the regular viewer will lost focus immediately its hard to keep track of what is going on here where was the editor of this film this is such a disappointing overlong bore fest.who is killing who & what is the matter with characters like Dena & the nurse the hero is such a coward that it adds insult to almost every protagonist in any film out there in the world he is not a hero he should be called Zero.Overall The World Made Straight 2015 is a waste of time and money i wasted mine so i am warning you just don't go & watch this film please avoid it at all costs even if you are a Minka Kelly fan my rating is 2/10.Skipp It

Douglas Skinner There seemed to be several anachronisms in this move. Having, back in those days, lived somewhat out in the country, I had to ask myself did the locals really sport 2010s facial hair? "Hair" in the 70s was still largely an urban phenomenon. To my recollection the "red necks" still wore short hair and were beardless. And I find it hard to believe that the permeation of the drug culture--as bad as it was--was half so established then as it is now. People were a lot more cautious about their illicit habits in those days because you could really get into trouble for showing signs of drug intoxication or possession of small quantities of drugs. Yet the knuckleheads portrayed in this movie seem unaware of this. Again, throughout this move I got the feeling that I was looking at contemporary people dressed up and placed in a setting 40 years earlier. Well, it was 40 years ago and the historical awareness of Hollywood types has never been that great.

Dale Haufrect "The World Made Straight" is a well made film from 2015. It is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. The Director is David Burris.
