Before you view this film, you must be sure to be able to suspend your disbelief; and I assure you, that will be very hard to do. This is a tired screenplay that has been done 100 times before (and much better) about the evil conservative capitalists vs the good liberal socialists. In American terms, this would be like your local all-star softball team playing a game of hardball with the Yankees (they would be the capitalists). I think we already know the outcome of that matchup. In this film, we are supposed to believe a woman with a high-paying job suddenly grows a conscience, while her brother suddenly grows a penis to shoot a capitalist. That is after her father suddenly grows a penis to knock out a young soldier for the capitalists holding him hostage. Then another member of the capitalists grows a conscience to help the woman. Finally, a third member of the capitalists grows a conscience instead of doing his job as a soldier. So, this is all so very funny to watch. THREE dyed-in-the-wool capitalists grow consciences in less than a week, and THREE dyed-in-the-wool socialists (liberals) grow penises in that same time period. The results are hilarious; but unintentional. I've had Halloween parties that were more realistic than this mess.

REDISTRIBUTORS is a dreadful little independent thriller that I was surprised to discover being shown on late-night telly. How it got transmitted I have no idea, except the possibility that it was part of one of those package deals that stations sometimes buy up. The conspiracy style plotline is redolant of much better Hollywood thrillers, while the no-name cast give stilted performances throughout. It's all routine from beginning to end, perhaps better made than the literal backyard indies you sometimes see, but just as dull in the end.
