A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
I have to admit that this film made me nervous because I actually underwent surgery having a device implanted in my brain. I had an experimental stent installed to help prevent a series of strokes caused by blood clots drifting away from an aneurysm. I haven't had any problems since the implant, but I think that if I'd seen this documentary before the brain surgery I would have thought twice. It's been over 4 years now with no problems, which is a good thing.
One of the best film I have seen in this topic. The Pill, The Sugar Film and Bleeding Edge are very important messages explaining how western system of control, run by government agencies is broken and is serving big corporations, not the people.
Brilliantly produced documentary about how 4 current-day medical devices have had catastrophic health effects for some patients, and how the FDA and industry have failed to prevent this from happening.One of the best documentaries I've ever seen--coming from one who has seen a lot! I wasn't bored for a minute of this film.
As always tremendously well executed by Netflix. But the exact same message could have been demonstrated and showed in a much shorter movie. In the end, there are only a few medical devices addressed and the movie unfortunately becomes more and more repetitive.
