It shows how people can have prejudices with anyone, instead of finding out about a person and who they are. Mary Steenburgen and Sean Patrick Flanery were wonderful in these roles.

Read More Powder is one of those movies where you have to believe the unbelievable but it is done with style and heart. If you like "The Green Mile" with Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan, then you should also like this movie. They run along the same vein. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The ending was so sad (along with the entire movie). But the movie really shows that we should all care for one another and not discriminate. In the end, there really is a lot of sentimental value and I just loved it along with the meaning of the entire movie!! :) See it soon! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It isn't a feel good movie due to the dark subject matter, but it is emotionally powerful. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I have read a few of the reviews of this movie and can shed some light on what this movie is really about. This movis was written by a man that is a convicted child molester. After he was tried and convicted of these crimes he wrote this movie about how it feels to be shunned for being born diffrent. When you see the main charcter go into a few of his lamented rants about how all those around him could not understand what is like to be born being misunderstood, you will see where this movie is coming from. I watched it without knowing this, and can tell you know that I would never give my time and money to something made by a sick mind. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
