Acting is below B grade, and I was actually trying to decide if movie is worse due to bad writing or bad directing, then I checked here and saw both were done by same guy. Stop making movies Tino, go do something productive with your life!As a matter of fact, the way one scene involving PTSD portrays it is flat out insulting. Its like person that wrote this horrible waste of time didn't even bother to read Wiki entries on topics he wrote about. Its THAT bad.If you want to see good movies about topic this movie tries (and miserably fails) to tackle, see Trade with Kevin Kline or Taken with Liam Neeson.
... View Morethe idea they set out to do is solid, and the actors are good, it could have been shot a bit better and edited a bit faster, but for a popcorn film its pretty good. there is no real use of cgi or a lot of filler, its pretty much suspense and action throughout. it is a low budget film, sure, but its better then most of the low budget i have seen, great use of, pro wrestlers, and they did a great job too, a few new faces too, some of them could goo far if Hollywood finds them. the leads did a great job and should definitely be seen in bigger action films and have higher budgets i saw interview with the director talking about the storyline based on the real human trafficking going on right here in our back yard. and that makes it worth watching just on that account.
... View MoreI don't think the critics are being fair here, it is a ultra low budget film, I saw an interview with the director and they did it for under 40k, that is not even possibly, could never have been done in Hollywood. so they did a great job, and with a solid storyline. yes it started a little slow and the editing was a bit off, but the actors were great. and did a great job. Loved Mac and Tiffany, and the bad guy played by Jack Dimich have a beer and enjoy, still better then some of the studio films I've seen lately I hope Hollywood takes note and gives these guys a bit more money next time, think they can do something great
... View MoreI don't normally review movies but I felt the need to after watching this one. I was surprised to see it was only 91 minutes because I could swear it took the entire night to watch it. There are parts that absolutely don't make sense. This isn't really a spoiler but I'm going to call it a potential spoiler just in case since it is something that happens in the movie. So the hero is chasing down a moving SUV and banging on the driver side door.... The camera cuts away, comes back and all of a sudden the SUV is completely stopped instead of still moving and the hero opens the door completely catching the driver by surprise as if he was never there. It's that kind of movie for all 91 minutes. I've never seen a movie that was so bad it was just awkward to watch. I like good-bad movies on occasion but this was just terrible bad to the point that it wasn't entertaining. I battled through to the end of the movie out of necessity as if I were a marathon runner just needing to finish the race although I could barely walk. If this were a restaurant and this movie was the food I just ate, I would ask for a refund and that the entire kitchen staff be fired.
