Its another film I bought at Dollar Tree and I liked it


The setting and the atmosphere were excellent when it comes to the isolated type of story and the tension in discovering who the perpetrator was is done very well. I watched the ten minute "making of" documentary on the extras and one actor says it made him think of Dog Day Afternoon, I can see that but also throw in its a lot like Reservoir Dogs in that its people in a warehouse trying to figure out "whodunit".

I enjoy seeing James Badge Dale and think he is an underrated actor. His Spenks character on World War Z was unforgettable to me and he does well here as the main character trying to suss out who committed a mass shooting on the police before all the blowback falls squarely onto the entire militia.

The ending was surprising as well and I will not spoil it here. I rated it a 7 out of 10. Some may feel thats high but the film is definitely worth at least one watch!

I saw this when it came out and liked it. I agree about James Badge Dale, he is kind of underrated. If you haven't seen it already I recommend checking out The Empty Man. It's a horror movie starring JBD. It's an overlooked gem.

Nice. It's a great movie. If OP decides to see it, he should go into it knowing as little as possible.

Absolutely!
