    Well this film may of had a low Budget as it may be, it wasn't all that bad. Though some of the dramatic dialog was clogged up a little and the overall plot at the end of the movie was a little confusing.

    Low Budget as it may be, it wasn't all that bad. Though some of the dramatic dialog was clogged up a little and the overall plot at the end of the movie was a little confusing. The movie was just a little too big for its britches.

    This movie has everything violence, suspense, horror, and action. If you blink, you're miss something. I recommend it

    I highly regard this film for being ALMOST what indie low-budget action flicks should be. The action and gunplay parts are AMAZING for the 3.2million budget (if you're a filmmaker who's attempted action scenes, you'll know why I say this) and the first major fist-fight is a bruta...( read more)l and slam-packed brawl. The middle part of the film gets extremely bogged down in Tarantino ripoffish bull-shit (it's basically riffing Tarantino and the ripoffs of QT from the last 7 years), but the final shoot-out, some of the horror movie elements of the story, and a generally pretty kickass crew help the movie be entertaining. For once, a DTV action flick that's pretty freakin' fun! :D

    A really good film that just grabs you and refuses to let go. A fun ride throughout. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that loves a good action/suspense movie. I am really glad that I watched this movie indie. Really impressive film from William Kaufman.

    More exciting than I had expected, decent enjoyment despite lack of big names.
