K-PAX
Synopsis
A mental patient named Prot (Kevin Spacey) is convinced
he is an alien, visiting Earth from a planet called K-Pax.

illusions, but Prot's conviction is inspiring, and his
messianic qualities start to uplift his fellow patients.
The baffled doctor must figure out exactly who this man
is and what he's doing here.
Review
One
there comes a film that simply moves the audience without
lifting a finger - K-PAX is such a film. Certain features
push the moral of the story from the beginning to end,
others seem to lack a moral. K-PAX surpassed both by providing
a moral, yet letting the viewers see it instead of showing
it.
Kevin
Spacey gives it his all and comes through as a convincing
and original character. Other supporting roles add to
the image of the film, bringing one of the best pictures
to the silver screen.
After watching the film, various responses came about,
yet all were positive and everyone walked away with a
new outlook on life and living. This film is for sure
going to become a classic that will such films as "One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
