Peter Canavese Celluloid Dreams 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 Rated: 1/4 May 14, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Robert M Good Sunday afternoon movie. Starts off slow but gains your interest if you stick with it. Interesting story and good ending. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Rodriguez F Very enjoyable movie, based off a true story, of corrupt officials taking a hard working family's ranch, well done to the independent filmmakers! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Pat J 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review All Things Chelsea Incredible!!! I was literally on the edge of my seat. Beautifully shot with an impactful storyline. Must watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review georgan g WARNING This was right-wing beliefs wrapped up in a flag. So the (may as well say "deep state") big guys are stealing stock from farmers for a profit??? Backed up by the (fake name to mean humane society) & entire police departments and government officials??? Despicable. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
