MUHAMMAD NASIR K SOMETIMES PROTECTORS OF THE LAW BECOMES THE BIGGEST BREAKERS OF THE LAW BY PROTECTING THEMSELVES UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THEIR SOCIAL & LEGAL STATUS & ESPECIALLY WHEN SOME OF THEM ARE GOING TO BECOME EXECUTORS OF LAW, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THAT'S WHY I LIKED THE MOVIE & GAVE THEM 3½ STARS. 👍 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review Michael M This is a Highly Underrated Thriller with a Solid Twist in the end. Good Performances throughout from Bill Pullman & Devon Sawa. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/22 Full Review Audience Member Besides the shaky acting and the crazy storyline, I don't even like the original assault portrayal. The lady was the one who kept pushing for both of them to keep drinking. This does not excuse any subsequent actions, but if the man had been the one to do that, there would be an issue. This made me roll my eyes for the rest of the story. Plus, the multitude of coincidences just made the whole thing absurd. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Mostly there's a reason for films to end up for free on YouTube, and this is a fine example. A thin soapish soup filled up with annoying overacting, and Bill Pullman is no exception. The music score is not that bad, but sadly it just doesn't fit to the rest. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review jay s The plot and twist in the middle appear shamefully incredible. Nathan behaves in a silly way, which no real person would do. I blame Simon Burke and William Davies for the faulty cause and effect. Nathan desperately tells the effect to Sophie, while ignoring to tell the cause. This is a major flaw in the script, and from this moment I didn't like the whole movie, too childish solution from an adult scriptwriter. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Moves at a good pace. When I thought there were too many extraneous things going on, it all worked out AWESOMELY. The ending is fantastic!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
