Of the 2 programs I enjoyed this one more. Which is strange because I thought the other story was better crafted.. Both are classic tales of men out for profit, but I felt the fact that they were looking to exploit a living creature as opposed to stealing a dead pirates gold made Giant the better of the two. i was able to see the bad guy as more evil if you will

Overall I thought the acting was good. I did have a couple of problems with the writing however--I found the whole Utah Man reference a distraction, I know it was supposed to be his motivation-but it didn't convince me. I also thought that the introduction of the infant in the last 2 minutes was cheap and beneath the normally solid writing.

As far as the sound effect-it sounds like 2 billiard balls to me.
