Leslie Felperin Guardian 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 Oct 5, 2021 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media 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 Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Preston B Painful to watch. I made it 20 minutes in and bailed out. John Malevich what were you thinking signing on for this? Sad thing is I’ll probably have dreams about it tonight where I’m part of the B minus cast. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Steven G. If you’re into movies with no plot, bad acting, and shitty gun fights then this movie is for you. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Cody M This is easily the worst movie I’ve ever seen nothing is explained so you have no idea what’s going on or who to root for. No plot, no character development whatsoever. And don’t even get me started on the pacing. And the gun fighting is so hilarious. Not a single person on set has ever shot a gun before and it shows, it’s so crazy. At one point the main antagonist just periodically leaves his guns on the ground and runs away. Not even John Malkovich could save this poorly directed film lol. I really wish that directors would hire an ex infantry man such as myself to ground the gunfighting in movies like this. It would have at least grounded half of the movie with some realism. I would give it zero stars if I could. Save yourself the time unless you appreciate train wrecks. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Mark C 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 02/28/25 Full Review Fat P 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Adrien d Absolutely nothing redeeming about this dreary drudgy slow boring saturated with lame flashbacks. Worst movie I've seen in a long time.
