"It's an inconsistent story that probably needed to fine-tune its focus a bit, but clearly it is a passion project for the filmmakers which comes across to the audience." - Mark Rawls, Seattle Times


"The film has some interesting scenes, but it definitely gets bogged down by messages by the end rather than focusing on the actual story at hand." - Chris Mears, Slashfilm

"This one is going to have a tough time breaking out with a world wide audience. The filmmakers do a decent job of dropping us right into the middle of things in the beginning and letting us figure things out on our own, but at times it gets distracted and turns into more of a history lesson. I still liked the film for the most part though because the early scenes were strong." - Paul Landon, Film School Rejects



Rated R for strong violent content and thematic material
