Civic Duty (DVD)

Synopsis

Peter Krause ("Six Feet Under") "delivers a tour-de-force performance" ("The Hollywood Reporter") in this "intense and startling movie" ("Maxim) about an ordinary man driven by paranoia and fear to take national security into his own hands. "A riveting microcosm of the tense, turbulent times in which we live" ("WNBC's Reel Talk", "Civic Duty" is an "arresting" ("Variety") thriller that takes the face of terror and brings it home.

When Terry Allen (Krause) loses his job in the wake of 9/11, his world is flipped upside-down. Terrified of another attack, assaulted by heightened threat levels and enraged by complacent citizens, Allen's worst nightmare comes true when a "middle eastern" man moves in next door. But when his new neighbor's suspicious activities lead Allen to believe he's uncovered a terrorist conspiracy, nothing can prepare him for just how far he's willing to go to protect his home and his country.
