Land of the Blind is a political satire about the elite of power and the elite of revolution for the people and the ultimate dictatorial result no matter who is in power. Fiennes plays a captain of a regime that is in power, loses power, and gains power again much to his detriment. A person at the wrong place at the wrong time. Sutherland does a good job as a revolutionary and dictator as does the rest of the cast. While there were no standout scenes, good acting, direction, screenplay with a minimal amount of gore make a depressing movie relatively interesting. Modern political environments echo the theme of this film absolute power corrupts absolutely. One mans vision of a people is not necessarily the people's vision of themselves. We incorrectly ask our leaders to lead us when what we really want is for them to provide for the needs we identify. Americans are not sheep.
