The Chosen Few

About This Movie

The Chosen Few offers a gritty exploration of redemption and spirituality. The film follows a Vietnam vet who, after returning from the war, seeks meaning in the East and finds enlightenment. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which can be jarring but adds to its rawness. You've got this heavy atmosphere hanging over the whole thing, especially in the scenes involving the hooker and the lost youth he aims to save, which makes it feel grounded yet spiritually ambitious. Performances are solid, particularly in how the lead embodies the struggle between past trauma and newfound purpose. It’s a unique blend of crime and thriller elements, with a distinct vibe that sets it apart from typical genre fare. Not your run-of-the-mill narrative, that's for sure.
