It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Carter (Thomas Jane) is a depressed farmer who has lost his son. His wife has left him. Meanwhile, during a funeral, Isabelle (Ella Ballentine) witnesses a multiple murder, but fails to stay hid from the killer (Laurence Fishburne). She is pursued and finds refuge in the farmhouse of Carter, who has an armed standoff with Sade, the killer. Both are injured and neither one wants to give ground as the film digresses to two grown men throwing barbs at each other with some occasional new characters.While the film was well done for what it was, it was a standoff film which in itself projects boredom. Even the characters fell asleep during the film. 6 stars unless you are really into Mexican sweat.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Top class film!A young girl witnesses a "hit" and is trapped in a house with the killer who is out to eliminate her, but could be saved by an ex military man.Laurence Fishburne plays the maniac hit-man....he surely has no soul; Thomas Jane is the former soldier, suicidal for family reasons but determined to do right; Ella Ballentine is the unlucky girl with all sorts of life threatening problems...This is a tense well scripted movie, with excellent direction.The 3 main players give show stopping performances!8/10.

The director of this film must have financed the film by breaking into his children's piggy bank. I have seen many excellent movies that were filmed on a shoestring budget. This was not one of them. Let's keep it simple:1) The plot holes were so glaring it was laughable. Missed opportunities galore for the characters to remove themselves from the peril they found themselves in. You will likely find yourself shaking your head at the contrived dramatic sequences. 2). The screenplay was simply juvenile. The only way it could have been worse is if the characters announced to each other their actions before they performed them. Oh wait, they did. 3). The acting was horrendous. Ranging from very bad, to flat, to grand histrionic over acting. 4). Zero character development and with only two main actors in the movie It wouldn't seem hard to make the characters endearing. For example, was Thomas Jane's character smart or dumb? He was set up to be a military veteran, yet time and again the character's actions were totally out of step with who the movie set him up to be. Do not waste your time. Go look for shooting stars.

As a fan of Thomas Jane and Lawrence Fishburne, I wanted to like this movie. However, what seemed to be pitched as a battle of wits turned into an hour and half screaming match between the two actors. The movie is basically Jane attempting to keep a little girl from being killed by Fishburne with his last shotgun shell. The two of them spend the whole movie yelling insults and cursing at each other, with very little happening in between. The script tries to add some story by telling giving Jane's character a tragic backstory, but it really doesn't do much to keep the plot moving. The best part of the movie is the little girl. Ella Ballentine has some definite talent, and finding out what happens to her is the only reason to finish watching the movie. This young actor adds a weariness and "old soul" quality to her character that makes her seem wiser beyond her years. While pitched as a battle of wits, this is more of a pissing contest between two stubborn men. If that's your thing, then go for it.
