The well-cast lead actors infuse their characters with a persuasive and compelling sense of urgency, greatly enhancing the stretches of worst-case scenario suspense.

The talents are great to watch. Each holds their own with the screen time they get and execute the character well enough to give meaning to the story they are telling.

Rated: 5/10

The second act of the movie is so intent on a slow-burn that it takes forever to get to the good stuff. Hang with it, however, and you'll find the movie sticks the landing solidly.

Midwest Film Journal

A taught thriller with well-developed characters and a world that doesn't seem far from our own.

It's a disturbing premise bolstered by believable characters and the tension that director William Sullivan, who wrote the script with actor Jarret Kerr, deftly ratchets up.

American Insurrection becomes a cautionary tale of sorts, a crude depiction of xenophobia, racism and local terrorism... and the way this inherent violence ultimately affects both sides, every side.

"American Insurrection" prometía ser un thriller distópico interesante, pero se queda en una decepción absoluta. El guion es predecible y superficial. Los personajes carecen de profundidad, y llegan a ser hasta cómicos en su impostura y exageración de sus papeles, haciendo imposible empatizar con ellos, y las actuaciones son rígidas y poco convincentes. La dirección es caótica, con escenas de acción mal ejecutadas y una estética genérica que nunca transmite una verdadera atmósfera distópica. Lo peor es que el mensaje de la película es simplista y carente de reflexión, dejando al espectador sin nada valioso que extraer, salvo que todos los malos son muy buenos y los buenos y oprimidos son seres de luz. En definitiva, "American Insurrection" es un fracaso en todos los niveles, una de las peores películas que ha llegado a las pantallas en mucho tiempo.

The movie was horrible and full of plot holes. The actors were all good.(Nadine Malouf and Michael Raymond were the best.)

The filmmaker is condescending and rude to the film's subjects. It is put forward as a documentary but, it is an editorial and it does little to educate the audience on those involved in the January 6th insurrection. Poor execution of on interesting subject matter.

The writers had so much they could have done with this movie. It could have been a blockbuster, had they put some imagination into it. Instead, it was boring, slow moving, and had almost no action. You don't see the actual take-over, 1 actual fight scene. I was extremely disappointed. The actors were great, considering what they had to work with. I have read some astonishing reviews of this film, that seem like they are reviewing a different film. The entire film has at best, 10 minutes of action, if you can call it, that.

This movie isn't about Politics, it's about a new world order that only a few will be able to survive and live a normal life! This group is trying to survive not only these others but each other in this new world by fleeing to Canada away from the crazies Very well done movie if you just watch it with an open mind!
