It's all good grim fun, with a visceral kick.

3/5

A whistle-stop tour of wicked creativity with an added serving of dark humour, this Warriors meets Escape From New York thriller ... makes for one hugely entertaining flick.

7/10

The Domestics doesn't really take us anywhere we haven't gone before, but Nelson tells his lean and blunt story with some style.

It's pure blissful, loony post apocalyptic movie porn and hot damn if I didn't love every single minute of it from beginning to end.

B+

Delivers B-movie jolts and agony without lingering on ugliness, maintaining enough of a ride to get some oxygen into entertainment that typically suffocates on labored nihilism.

Absolutely horrible movie plot makes no sense whatsoever. Terrible acting Corey and bloody yeah but there’s no in-depth story. It’s just throwing together Gore to try and make a dollar what a waste of time.

This movie reminds me of the Z Nation show with it's campy fun yet brutal violence. It's a movie that wants to have fun while not being disconnected to the point of parody. It really made me want to see more.

This movie was terrible. Even taking it with a grain of salt it was unrealistic. I don't mind watching fiction but this made my brain hurt. Not for me, others might enjoy it.

I don't know why the hell the actual gorgeous, fun-loving, exciting, loves sushi, isnt scared to be itself, likes karaoke red tomato meter gave this a 100%. Its 50 at best. This movie has the problem (I see it as a problem) of a narrator that covers the whole story just so its audience isnt confused. It whereas because it'd actually stand out more without that dipshit Crazy Al or whatever his name was talking between scenes. I hated that part. But as a whole, this move succeeded at being a amped up, bloody Warriors with the exception of not have that one dude put empty beer bottles over his fingers and clack them together, saying, "Warriors. Come out to play." Apparently its an iconic scene and also completely improved. Not sure if that was Pat Dempsey or Sean Peenn but if you out their pictures side by side they have very similar facial structures except Pats handsome.

I love apocalyptic movies. This one was decent but nothing special. Not a waste of time however, there were some good action scenes and a good storyline.
