The film is based on the true story of Michael David "Mike" Weiss and Paul Danziger. It was chosen as one of the spotlight films for the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, premiering on April 21, 2011 in New York City.[2] PlotMike Weiss is a young Houston lawyer and a drug addict. Paul Danziger is his longtime friend and straitlaced law partner. They decide to take on a case involving Vicky, a local ER nurse, who is pricked by a contaminated needle. She contracts aids and ultimately dies. As Weiss and Danziger dig deeper into the case, they find a safer needle is available from inventor Jeffrey Dancort. No one will buy this needle because of a healthcare and pharmaceutical conspiracy and bribery racket. With the threat of exposure, heavyweight attorneys move in on the defense led by attorney Nathaniel Price. Out of their league and out of money, the mounting pressure of the case pushes the two underdog lawyers and their business to the breaking point.[3] The safety needle can only be used once and is made of plastic. The glass needle can be used over 200 times. Used needles spread aids and hepatitis worldwide. Mike and Paul fight bitterly about how to handle their case. Partner Danziger sees no way except to settle the case and sell the needle company. Attorney Weiss tells Price he may have won this case but he personally will find new clients and hospital employees infected by this defective needle across the country. The next day Paul finds his friend and legal partner dead from an overdose. At the settlement conference Danziger walks in with famous personal injury attorney Mark Lanier and tells them no settlement. They will see them in court. The movie postscript tells the audience in 2004 Attorney Lanier settled a lawsuit against one of the nation's largest medical supply manufacturer for over $150 million. [4] "As a result, thousands of hospitals throughout the United States now use safety needles." Cast
ProductionThe original story was written by Danziger. Filming began on February 10, 2010 in Texas.[5] The film was directed by Adam Kassen and Mark Kassen. Adam Kassen was quoted as saying, "From the moment we heard about this story, we connected to what it says about the current state of our medical industry and the flawed hero that tries to fix it."[6] IMDb lists 93 credited and uncredited actors in this film. The director dedicated the film to the real life attorney Michael David Weiss who died in 1999 of a drug overdose at age 32.[7] ReleaseAfter the film premiered at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, Millennium Films acquired the distribution rights.[8] It had a limited release on September 23, 2011, and played in five theaters. The total domestic gross was $68,945.[1] Puncture was released on DVD and Blu-ray on January 3, 2012.[9] The film promotes safe needle use worldwide.[10]ReceptionRotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 51% of 41 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review, and the average rating was 5.6/10; the site consensus reads: "There's a compelling story at the heart of Puncture but viewers will have to pierce through the formulaic storytelling to find it."[11] Metacritic rated it 54/100 based on 17 reviews.[12] Roger Ebert rated it 3/4 stars and wrote that Evans' performance upstages the issues raised in the film.[13] Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The film is chock-a-block with extraordinary performances and no one will fault the filmmaking either. This is a well-made movie, make no mistake. It just suffers from a dysfunctional hero."[14] Ronnie Scheib of Variety wrote, "Though conceptually intriguing, the mix of downward drug spiral with uphill struggle for good never really coalesces."[15] Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times wrote, "Notable at least in part for its fumbled potential, this health-care-industry melodrama possesses all the right ingredients: an idealistic young lawyer, a corrupt corporate villain and a sympathetic victim. It just fails to assemble them into a compelling whole."[16]References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=puncture.htm|title=Puncture|publisher=Box Office Mojo |accessdate=2014-04-05}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.tribecafilm.com/filmguide/puncture-film36410.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2011-08-25 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110408145328/http://www.tribecafilm.com/filmguide/puncture-film36410.html |archivedate=2011-04-08 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.killerfilm.com/articles/read/evans-gets-a-puncture-27973 |title=Evans gets a Puncture |work=KillerFilm.com |date=2010-03-17 |accessdate=2010-08-26}} 4. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/03/business/03buyer.html?scp=16&sq=Retractable%20Technologies%20Inc&st=cse | work=The New York Times | title=Syringe Manufacturer Settles Claim of Market Manipulation | date=July 3, 2004|accessdate=November 25, 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=8365789|title='Puncture,' shot in Houston, hits the big screen|last=Wrigley|first=Deborah|work=KTRK-TV|date=2011-09-23|accessdate=2014-04-05}} 6. ^{{cite web|last=McClintock|first=Pamela|url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118016545.html?categoryid=13&cs=1 |title=Chris Evans joins 'Puncture'|work=Variety|date=2010-03-16 |accessdate=2010-08-26}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.puncturemovie.com|title=Puncture|last=Weiss|first=Mike|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=February 28, 2019}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/risky-business/millennium-lands-us-rights-puncture-202493|title=Millennium Lands U.S. Rights for 'Puncture'|author=|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=2011-06-16|accessdate=2014-04-05}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/52941/puncture/|title=Puncture|last=Keefer|first=Ryan|work=DVD Talk|date=2011-12-28|accessdate=2014-04-05}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.puncturemovie.com|title=Puncture|last=|first=|date=|website=Officialsite|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=February 28, 2019}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/puncture/|title=Puncture (2011)|work=Rotten Tomatoes|accessdate=2014-04-05}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/puncture|title=Puncture|work=Metacritic|accessdate=2014-04-05}} 13. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/puncture-2011|title=Puncture|last=Ebert|first=Roger|authorlink=Roger Ebert|work=Chicago Sun-Times|date=2011-10-05|accessdate=2014-04-05}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/puncture-film-review-231653|title=Puncture: Film Review|last=Honeycutt|first=Kirk|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=2011-09-06|accessdate=2014-04-05}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2011/film/reviews/puncture-1117945321/|title=Review: 'Puncture'|last=Scheib|first=Ronnie|work=Variety|date=2011-05-24|accessdate=2014-04-05}} 16. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/23/movies/pucture-stars-chris-evans-and-mark-kassen-review.html?ref=movies&_r=0|title=Flawed Lawyer, Fighting the Good Fight|last=Catsoulis|first=Jeannette|work=The New York Times|date=2011-09-22|accessdate=2014-04-05}} External links
