3/5

On the whole, it's an entertaining 100-or-so minutes. Go to Full Review Liam Lacey Original Cin 12/04/2020
This fun (and blood-free) low-budget action-comedy hits the right notes. Go to Full Review Jared Mobarak Jaredmobarak.com 11/12/2020
7/10
So expect ample drama with the action. Fritz is a big man who needs to learn a lesson before teaching one on this tough road towards clarity. The [film] is also pretty funny. Go to Full Review Cain Noble-Davies FILMINK (Australia) 03/08/2020
17.5/20

matt d Sep 14 It's a very well though out storyline with a good flow from start to finish with a modern and old school twist. Family night appropriate and should entertain all ages!!! 333Dimmer See more Nick H Sep 14 Beautiful movie. Wholesome. Complex. Raw. Funny. See more 11/28/2021 A overall great movie I would suggest this to book wrestling fans and numb frankly he reminds me of Walking Tall movie based in Samoa all in all I'd give it solid 10 to 10 See more 06/06/2021 Dreadful perpetuation of the stereotypes of violence in pacific island culture and in poorer neighbourhoods. Someone needed to use more imagination and creativity. Yuck! See more Read all reviews
