Movie Story


A literary professor and decent family man, John Halder (Mortensen) explores his personal circumstances in a novel advocating compassionate euthanasia. When the book is unexpectedly enlisted by powerful political figures in support of government propaganda, Halder finds his career rising in an optimistic current of nationalism and prosperity. Seemingly inconsequential decisions lead to choices, which lead to more choices... with eventually devastating effect.

Just saw a screening of GOOD. I thought Viggo Mortensen"s perfomance was riveting.The supporting cast was also excellent. I was so drawn into the story & the characters that at first I thought a short movie was produced until I looked at my watch & realized that a almost one & half hours went by. Great movie
