"The Ninth Configuration" is an excellent movie. It's hard for me to try to do a proper review without giving away too much of the plot. In a nutshell, Stacey Keach plays Colonel Hudson Kane, who is an army psychiatrist assigned to cure group of military mental patients who are being isolated from the public by the government. The movie deals with the patients as they try to come to grips with their sanity. The plot takes an incredible twist when we realize that Col. Kane is suffering from his own problems, which unfold as we find out more about his past in the Marines. Stacey Keach does an excellent job of acting in this thought- provoking movie. Go see it if you get a chance, it seems to be getting only a limited distribution. I rate it four *'s out of a possible four. -- Russell Spence ihnp4!ihuxf!russ AT&T Technologies Lisle, IL Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
