Bradley Gibson Film Threat Plight is a busy film with a frenetic pace throughout. The solid performances from Plumb, Pasternak, and Manuel drive the melodrama intensely. Rated: 6/10 Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

JD L What a refreshing piece of original work here. I am extremely pleased I came across this independent American film. No recognizable actors or filmmakers from what I could gather, however, the story was one that seemed rather straight forward at first until the events progressed along and you come to find out that the characters and what is at play is much deeper than what is presented at surface level. The harsh setting and texture throughout the film provides a canvas for the events to unfold in a shocking, tragic and visceral manner as I viewed the film. High marks for these lads! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/25 Full Review Dominic P What an ending! Without giving much away I’ll just say that this film packs quite the punch and will leave your jaw dropping when it’s all said and done. I’ve been on a real indie film kick of late and with that you come across all sorts of stuff. I figured this to be your run of the mill revenge thriller but it turned out to be so much more. Definitely worth checking out! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review Derek F This was intense! Unexpected but thoroughly enjoyed it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/25 Full Review Tanya W One of the better independent films you'll see! Definitely did not see the twists coming and I really appreciated that this wasn't just a whodunit? The characters were cerebral and textured and there was nothing I didn't buy. My only gripe was that the opening 10 minutes or so seemed a bit too long but the film really takes off from there. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Michael P Saw this film off a recommendation from a friend and I must say it had me guessing all the way to the end. It is an independent American film that does not feel like it lacks in scope or scale. While the story was fairly contained it did feature some interesting tie-ins to the "plight" of foreigners immigrating to America. I felt that was rather intriguing given the current state of US politics. The cinematography was top notch, the acting was inspired, and the tension throughout was palpable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review Jessica W Couldn't believe I hadn't heard of this film. What a treat it was to watch! My weekend at the movies I thought would be a little light (Freakier Friday) and a little fierce (Weapons) and it ended up fierce and intense as hell! This movie will absolutely ROCK you to the core if you're not ready for it. Just gut-wrenching but beautiful and poignant. Love the dual storytelling with Pennsylvania and Ukraine. Tons of great performances all around and kept me wondering how it would all wrap up. Had me in absolute tears by the end but who doesn't love a good cry?
