Drifter rolls into town, and by way of a local access TV show, begins to touch nerves in smug "Smalltown, USA."
Ron Marquette delivers a very strong performance as Whiley Pritcher, the enigmatic drifter. His portrayal is a mix of thoughtfulness and menace.
The director, Bryan Singer, tells the story, slowly, deliberately, layer by layer. A keen eye for rhythm and pacing, for the building of suspense. I found the film a strong cautionary message, for those who foolishly abide blind faith in our elected "leaders."
Compared to his future endeavors, PUBLIC ACCESS is lighter in intensity, yet still strong in effect.
