6/10
Plight is a busy film with a frenetic pace throughout. The solid performances from Plumb, Pasternak, and Manuel drive the melodrama intensely. Go to Full Review

Trisha M @TrishemzZz Dec 17 Did not see that coming... See more Dahlia R @DahliaDoms Dec 8 Yassss! Been on this indie kick lately and this one totally delivers. Sent chills down my spine. Still thinking about it! Heartbreaking, but beautiful at the same time See more JD L Nov 14 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! See more Dominic P Nov 10 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! See more Derek F Oct 22 This was intense! Unexpected but thoroughly enjoyed it! See more Tanya W Oct 21 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. See more Read all reviews
