User Reviews

Good clean violent fun!

I can't understand the negative reaction this movie has garnered here on IMDb. If you like indie entertainment you should enjoy this movie. Surprisingly fine performances from the leads (Harris, Priestly and McHattie) as well as the rest of the cast, and a story with some mildly original perspectives and twists.
