User Reviews

An action film that can appeal to all

Not just your regular action movie. There's more behind the guns and fighting than the usual "shoot em up" action flick. The story line is actually well thought out rather than an excuse for more shooting and gore. Great for those looking for action, story twists, chemistry between the main characters, and a story line to bring it all together.

Some great names that I've never heard of before. Ross Marquand and Michael Scovotti were fantastic. Loved their chemistry on screen. Hope to see them in more movies in the future.

The directing was very well done. Truly blown away that this movie was made on a small budget. Great quality and very well written.

Very likely to keep most audiences interested through the whole film.
