HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE SICK FROM DVDTALK

When Michael Moore makes a movie these days, all hell seems to break loose. It gets to a point where whatever message he's trying to communicate is drowned out by all the media attention, knee-jerk reactionaries, and general resentment. With "Sicko," Moore is embarking on a topic that is vital to the might of America, seeded with a message that everyone in the country should be, at the very least, aware of. This is health care, and it is killing our nation.

Of course, I've been a great admirer of Moore's for some time, always willing to embrace his big screen pole vaults of satire and acidic truth. "Sicko" comes after the unreal success of "Fahrenheit 9/11," a picture that gave Moore the most power he's ever enjoyed and sent his loudest critics into a spastic, wildly entertaining Curly-shuffle of frustration. It comes as little surprise that Moore, now with the world's attention, has selected the hornet's nest issue of health care for his latest picture.

"Sicko" is a persuasive piece of "informational entertainment," (perhaps "documentary" no longer covers what Moore is trying to accomplish here), picking up a rock and throwing at the fanged, mile-high, tentacled beast called privatized health care. It's a spectacular look at America and the corruption that rots our very core, swallowing the interests of our leaders and mercilessly disposing of our most needy. Did I mention the film is a comedy?

Narrated by and appearing in the second half of the film is Moore, who is astounded that his country is unwilling to fix what clearly is a broken system. "Sicko" isn't a comprehensive argument for repair, but it isn't meant to be. Moore gives the viewer enough examples of failure and deception to cook up a frothy stew of amazement and poignancy, spending time with the individuals instead of a flow chart of indifference. Not every corner of health care is exposed; Moore leaves that minutiae to the political pundits, as they chase their tails to a point of exhaustion and social irresponsibility. Instead, Moore paints a dramatic picture of the way things are headed, and his point of view is shocking.
