I was excited by the fact that this film was about a returning veteran who is trying to get his life back on track once he returns. Good idea, bad execution. Once again, they deserve better than this calibre of film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kashgar A @AllFunAndGames Aug 8 Excellent acting all round. A good, gritty story. The only thing is the pacing through the middle part and the ordering of the story…some things might have been better revealed earlier to make the motivations of the characters more believable. I agree with other audience members that it was a huge set up for a sequel, and I wouldn’t mind watching it. Just not sure whether we’re supposed to be seeing these characters as superheroes or something else See more Justin W @Loonsan 01/15/2023 Good action drama but walk into the fortress with a handgun & jeans make any sense? See more Bill M @RT90823903 10/09/2022 Great storyline and excellent acting from the leads. Pacing was a bit slow in the middle but a great ending made up for it. Would watch a sequel See more 10/08/2022 I was trying to find a good Friday night movie and I came across this one. it was watchable but not great. The idea presented in this movie was interesting and the main character saved the movie overall, but the rest of the acting was questionable. There was almost no character development at all. I guess if you've seen everything else then watch this one See more Read all reviews
