User Reviews

It was an ASSKICKER! I was impressed.

I attended the Long Island International Film Expo with my girlfriend. This was a Hollywood level movie. It was an ASSKICKER, in your face joy ride. Shocked that it was an Independent film rather than a Hollywood Studio Release.

Deserved Best Picture.
