I absolutely loved this movie. It is a great story and a very interesting way of exploring the catastrophe of what can befall people working in a silo. The characters were realistic and the background leading up to why the accident occurred was, to be at least, a good explanation and touches on the issue of dementia and some of its possible consequences.
Cody was a character that was real and portrayed very convincingly by Jack DiFalco. I could really feel his fear as he struggled with his breathing as the corn was starting to increase its pressure on his lungs.
A great film which is much needed
