X-Files: I Want to Believe (In Pedophiles)
I must admit that prior to seeing this movie I had a rather unfavorable view of pedophile priests. However, like most stereotypes, once you explore further you find that your perceptions are not quite what you expect. After doing some research on the FBI’s online crime statistics library, I found that a good 14.3% of human organ trafficking cases are indeed solved by pedophiles working in their spare time. Now I know. But, does the movie deliver the message well?
Yes, X-Files is a fine stand alone movie that you don’t have to be a fan of the show to like or get. It concerns itself with a mysterious missing persons case and a potential pedophile who seemingly knows where to find clues in the case.
On the down side, there were some weak points in the story line. I didn’t think the case was setup to be soooo compelling that they had to get the rogue Fox Mulder out of retirement. Also, if I was trying to steal people to use their bodies to replace my husband’s, wouldn’t I pick a male body instead of females? I mean, I know beggars can’t be choosers but come on. I guess women only wear medic alert bracelets. WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT in the previous sentances.
As typical in the X-files, it asks more questions than it answers. For instance, they never explicitly state who sent that helicopter in the beginning.
Overall, I good show, I give it a solid:
