Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound I was excited by the fact that this film was about a returning veteran who is trying to get his life back on track once he returns. Good idea, bad execution. Once again, they deserve better than this calibre of film. Rated: 2/5 Nov 13, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Galfm l The movie was OUTSTANDING! Great acting, great story can't wait for the sequel! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Paul Pierro O Great movie!!! Enjoyed the acting action and story. The pace and story kept my interests the entire film. Definitely needs to be a sequel. La película que es spectacular. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Deb H The story is slow moving I guess in order to lay the groundwork. The acting was superb and it was a great storyline. Right when I was really intrigued with the plot the movie ended. I'm good with that because it's obvious that there is a sequel coming which I guarantee will be awesome and explosive based on the way the story ended. Part 2 has to be better than Part 1. I can't wait!!! Did I say that the acting was superb!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/23 Full Review David W Great movie 🍿 😃 story hits home Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Good action drama but walk into the fortress with a handgun & jeans make any sense? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review john m An amazing film digging into the horrible world of child abduction and serving up a big can of justice! I heard it was filmed during covid which is a feat! I love the character acting and you really get to know the characters in the 2 hour movie. If you're looking for a Die Hard sort of film, well no big bombs going off here. Just a great story of justice against the worst crimes, those again children. Well done to all involved! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
