Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com “High Ground” doesn’t even visit violence until well past its midway point, leaving excitement behind to deal with uninteresting characters and their half-realized emotional issues. Rated: D Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Tom S I like the premise of this movie, but I'm sorry. The acting and writing didn't pull it off. In a word, cheesy Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Randall J Better than 90% of the movies at the Box offices !!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Jeepers C I seen all the high reviews for this movie, and thought it was going to be pretty decent . What I watched was a very average movie at best. I couldn't get into any of the characters. They were just so bland. I have seen too many good movies to sit and waste my time with movies like this. The bad guys were also a joke. Avoid this movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Staci R This was really awful. Watched it on Prime Video, where it had a decent rating. Don’t fall for it. The dialogue is bad. The pace is slow. The characters make ridiculous decisions throughout the entire movie. I yelled at the screen during the whole movie. Henry Thomas and Jon Voight should have known better. I should have known better. I should have turned it off after the first five minutes. Bottom five of all of the movies I have ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Tommy L So bad and so cliche-ish that I couldn't finish it - and I tried. Start with this: In the opening scene the guy is sitting by a fire. Two minutes later when the bad guys get there, there's no fire. On and on. As mentioned earlier, the indoor sets, town and characters are so bad as to be laughable. This movie is bad on so many levels. I think that bots (or relatives of the production) wrote the glowing reviews. Bad, bad. bad. I'm angry at myself for renting it. Some guy below wrote that it's Jon Voight's best movie. It's a smear on his career and shows how badly he must need money. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review David R These user reviews are pure garbage. This is a painful movie to watch… if you make it through this movie, I’d be shocked.
