The Standoff at Sparrow Creek

Some awkward directing choices throughout keep this from a five star review but overall a tense cabin fever movie that overall is very good

Film of great originality, minimalist, dark, introspective, difficult to classify, difficult to understand, challenging.

This is one of those movies that try's to be clever but collapses under basic scrutiny by people that actually know a thing or two. The politics is what you'd expect with a twist at the end that was a little pleasant, depressing, but pleasant surprise all the same. The actors did their parts well, they did a good job with the atmosphere and set. So it's entertaining but like I said those of us in the know are gonna be like wait a minute why would xyz do abc etc etc at the end. Frankly a far more compelling story could've been told if the writers had actually spent some time with these types of people than just come up with something based on stereotypes and preconceived notion's they heard on the news.

Silence is part of the film from the beginning and acts as a powerful weapon that, accompanied by speeches and words, denote a growing tension that rises to the point where everything breaks into pieces, photography plays with the contrast of light and darkness that helps maintain uncertainty, the movie surprised me even when I did not expect anything from it.

Tense, mysterious, and spectacular. A great script provides an underrated cast with a story full of twists and turns and an explosive ending you don't want to miss.

Excellent movie from start to finish 4.4

A very effectively stylish mystery. Sure there's some dialogue that feels kinda extra and on the nose but I looooove how this movie is presented as this creepy night noire.

From start to finish this keeps you wondering, involved and concludes with a fitting ending.

It was truly awful. Really tough to make it all the way through

This movie grabs your gut with slow burning intensity and good old school acting along with great storytelling and a satisfying twist! Delightful action with some moments like the Deer scene.
