Despite my miserable experience with Punishment Park, I gave Watkins another chance. This one's another pseudo-documentary, but this time far more convincing, even though the viewer is periodically reminded that the scenario is hypothetical. It's quite disturbing and bold for its time. It's been superceded by better films like Threads and Where the Wind Blows, but it deserves credit for pre-dating those works by some 20 years. The acting is uneven and the script is sometimes a bit off.
