Movie Haiku:Muckraker Moore wants to know what accounts for the pervasive violence in American life. He takes some cheap shots, but on balance, this is a thoughtful & sincere examination of our obsession with personal safety & self-defense. We buy guns, we build gated communities, but somehow “security” still eludes us.
