The palette of sludge and gravel doesn't help and the performances represent no one's best here, although it's nice to see Rhys Meyers back in action after some decidedly low-profile movie roles.

Rated: 2/5

Rhys Meyers does his best to make Ben a relatable hero. But the storylines showing us his past and present never mesh in a way that tells anything interesting or unique about him.

Rated: 2/5

This is terrible. It feels like it was written in a day and filmed on an iPhone. There’s no connection to a post apocalyptic world. It’s jut filmed on someone’s property and feels extremely claustrophobic as you don’t get to see the rest of the world. It’s just one vs six shoot ‘em up. The ending is god awful……

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I’m a huge fan for apocalyptic shows/movies. The vibes are nice…but I still don’t understand why the cities are bombed and all the buildings are abandoned. I wish we got more insight on how and why everything is the way it is. There’s no good plot or major events, things just happen. Not to mention acting isn’t that good.

Absolutely nothing redeeming about this dreary drudgy slow boring saturated with lame flashbacks. Worst movie I've seen in a long time.

Poorly written and staged action scenes sink this mediocre post-apocalyptic movie.
