There might've been a good film in the true story that provides the jumping off point, but it's not this badly scripted thriller that plays like a lost episode of Walker, Texas Ranger Go to Full Review

Robert M 03/10/2024 Good Sunday afternoon movie. Starts off slow but gains your interest if you stick with it. Interesting story and good ending. See more Rodriguez F 02/27/2024 Very enjoyable movie, based off a true story, of corrupt officials taking a hard working family's ranch, well done to the independent filmmakers! See more Pat J 02/18/2024 I thought this would be a father-daughter relationship movie, then, suddenly, it's a mystery and corruption story. "Inspired by true events," the drama builds and plays out well. The circumstances--an animal rights group destroying peoples lives--isn't so different from a situation in Los Angeles. The writing is solid, the performances are good. Christopher MacDonald is on-board with yet another villain role. But, hey, do what you good at, right? Worth watching.

Backed up by the (fake name to mean humane society) & entire police departments and government officials??? Despicable. See more 02/02/2022 Good movie in a time when there is so little worth seeing. Could have developed the "bad guy" characters more, fleshing them out would have made the film more nuanced, but all in all, good film. See more @Karlwinters 05/02/2021 As it happened the deputy sheriff happened to be retarded, unable to work out a simple maths monetary situation which a five year old could easily have done. Then Matt tells a joke a hundred years old and I'm suspecting this town is awash with morons. On top of that the father was emotionally constipated. To make matters worse I suspected the authorities in this county were descended from inbreeds due to the idiot veterinary rules applying to farm animals. And the icing on the cake was the sheriff turned out to be a vermin creature. It was an okay movie. See more Read all reviews
