“Surprisingly entertaining zero-budget film noir that effectively mixes pseudo- Hitchcockian theatrics with a hefty doseof contemporary lefty paranoia.”

“NOIR ON ACID. A paranoid fantasy of geek superheroics. Like-minded theorists may ascend from their basements to rally.”

“Krik uses flashes of dark comedy, an affection for the film noir genre and the perfect eyebrow-half-cocked attitude towards his subject matter to create a fast-paced and entertaining story… With its black-and-white cinematography and visual imagination (the film mixes in color dream sequences and text-overwritten surveillance footage)… Krik’s low-fi riff on the conspiracy thriller has a charm all its own”

“Knocks along with the steady heartbeat pace of a thriller and is painted in the languid, low contrast shadows of a noir.”

“Able Danger is a slick debut feature…. An update of The Parallax View… A cinematic x-ray of paranoid mindset… In the long shadow of noir pastiche, complete with a femme-fatale turn by Elina Löwensohn”
FILM COMMENT MAGAZINE

“Krik references film noir, rustling up some heavies and hardboiled patter here and there. Ironically, the connection is intriguing, given the wartime stew of anxieties that originally fostered the movies that came to be known as noir; Krik¹s two main riffstones come from either end of the lineage, The Maltese Falcon (1941) and Kiss Me Deadly (1955).”

“Mildly surreal, mostly black-and-white homage to film noir, set in the built-in ironic enclave of hipster Brooklyn. Able Danger is a smart and all-too- conceivable conspiracy thriller that raises serious questions in less-than-serious ways. Do we really think we know the entire truth behind 9/11? If so, the movie shows a bridge it might want to sell you”

“Paul Krik¹s low-budget indie thriller Able Danger is nicely shot in tinted b&w hi-def video, slickly mixed, scored and edited almost to the point of being indistinguishable from this or that Bruckheimer TV show. And Krik is a keen film student: Many of the film¹s images recall Welles, Lang, Fuller, Mann, Kubrick, Frankenheimer­ you name it.”

“Shot in a high contrast black-and-white that milks maximum atmospheric effect out of its wide, busy compositions and chiaroscuro lighting…”

“Shot in black and white and reminiscent of classic ’30s noir films, Able Danger tracks a Brooklyn bookstore owner (based on the owner of Vox Pop) and a European femme fatal over bridges and on bikes in the dangerous search for 9/11 truth.”

I just got a call (I won't say from who) regarding a need for space to shoot a re-make of…Peter Pan.

Even the person working for the production company making the movie seemed baffled as to why.

And I prefer more movie talk, less politics (unless it is talk of political films? – not Michael Moore type stuff, however)….I'd vote for you, though.
