- Director
- Gregory Bayne & J. Reuben Appelman
- Date
- 2010
- Genre
- crime, drama, thriller
A veteran of the war in Iraq, and self-proclaimed American Patriot, becomes convinced that the federal government is setting him up as the fall guy in a soon-to-be terrorist attack on American soil ~ yet his reactions to the paranoia unmistakably parallel that of a would-be terrorist.
At once controversial and definitive, vehemently proactive, and overwhelmingly relevant in a political climate charged with uncertainties, Person of Interest gives voice to a disenfranchised generation of soldiers, while bravely prodding at the seams of homegrown terrorism in the United States.
This film can also be watched online at VeeHD

"Person of Interest succeeds on several levels. The script-driven film drowns you in a tsunami of language ranging from colloquial American to Iraq-vet grunt-speak to the oddities of Terrance’s grasp of basic English. Brilliant moments of scriptwriting reference both Timothy McVeigh and the September 11th World Trade Center attacks, upping the intensity for the viewer who constantly feels something horrible is about to happen." - Review by Jibril Hambel for JO Magazine.

"...The lines of reality in Person of Interest are blurred and grained. It’s a testament to Bayne’s direction and cinematography that the film is able to maintain such a level of narrative force and coherence while the main character spirals within his trauma and insanity." - from "I Pity the 'Good Man'” - A review of PERSON OF INTEREST

"The script is a tough prose poem that repeats certain phrases in order to convey what it might sound like inside Terrance’s mind; and, with alternately searching and invasive close-ups of his face coming undone, the camera captures his paranoia and pain. This gritty look at a mind ruined by war reveals that perhaps the worst part of battle is its lingering madness."

Camera shakes WAY too much, literally 100% of the time. Made me a little dizzy and made the direction look sloppy.
However -- it's a very interesting concept, with a good script and some pretty solid acting. Definitely a memorable film that I will be sure to recommend to the people I know.

Visceral, haunting, and poetic filmmaking at its finest. Stayed with me for a long time after viewing. Pretty sure I couldn't have said it better than Pericles, so read that comment one more time and let it sink in, then Go. Watch. Support.

"This is a visionary work; it is the TAXI DRIVER of this generation. It is a fulminating, subversive piece of cinema that throws a sharp elbow into the solar plexus of domestic propaganda and challenges the dogma of fear." -- <a href="http://thislovelymachine.com/personofinterest/press/">Pericles Lewnes</a>
