Vadim Perelman's thriller shouldn't go unseen, particularly if you prefer your thrillers to be more confined and, for the most part, limited to two characters. Go to Full Review

Slick R @SlickReviewer 8h It went so well with all kinds of twists... until the very end. I really don't understand why the writers suddenly got extremely lazy at the end and didn't explain anything. Let's just say there was the biggest loose end possible and suddenly all was good. See more R T @RT29751295 1d Absolute brain rot brainwashed nonsense. They’ve turned the white guy into the suicidal bomber along with explosive vest. The story is predictable, anti left, corporate loving dross and clearly made by a crappy corporation! I mean literally every word the bomber says is true lol. Cheaply made, slot filling crap! Straight to video nonsense. The acting is top notch especially with the god awful script!!! You hope so much more for an ending! How could any moron give this a good review See more MBI M @MNZGamerX 2d One might reasonably suspect that this propaganda movie was sponsored by the CIA as a Somali Muslim character is presented here as the voice of reason as he is kidnapped by a white leftist domestic terrorist who spouts what appears irrational drug induced views about America and its role in the world ... The movie clearly seeks to convince Muslims that America is a force for good in the world and perspectives to the contrary are the ravings of leftist extremists who have warped ideas about America and this viewpoint might also appeal to and be shared by right wing elements in America about the so called political left or anyone critical of American foreign policy... Overall, one would have to be a complete moron not to understand what is being done here and that this is a brainwashing exercise ... See more Margot 0 @MTrev 2d Haven’t even gotten to the end, but it’s a really great movie. The acting is top notch too! See more Pete B @RT24524490 3d Really great acting and direction. Kept me glued to the screen to the end. Nice to see a simple premise done so well in a age of 200 mil+ films with many actors that don't land nearly as well. See more Read all reviews
