Review Time

Warning/Disclaimer: there is torture/burning/medical/terrorism/stabbing. Now I just want to cover my back; yes this is my review, but however the things I will be discussing are simply based on what is in this film, so if it wasn't in this film to begin with I wouldn't be discussing it.

Storyline/Character [Character developments,] Action, Performances and Art: in one way or another these components combined; we meet the Wistin family Neil Wistin [Sean Bean,] Ellen Wistin [Ellen Wistin] and their Son Shane Wistin [Maxwell Haynes;] as all three of them have three individual secrets. Shane's secret is doing right by a recently deceased family member, but for is father and mother their secrets are dark; in fact Neil's secret end up in our home Imir Shawe [Patrick Sabongui;] ready to blow this family apart on some level.

The pacing is slow, drifts along and uncomfortable watching  [as I will discuss in the next paragraph,] but for here and now we have a mixture of place names, time or dates and we have news report [we don't see it we just hear it] of what may or may not happen next, it may as well be may not have because we never find out as this film finishes.

This film has a transparent view of this is what America is like and it is okay for them to do it but no one else, be it another school shooting [we see the aftermath of police/security, flowers and so on to imply a shooting had taken place] or when Ellen has an accidental baseball ball hit her windscreen as she goes past a baseball field obviously stops the car, her shock quickly turning into anger and chases after them, but is unsuccessful on catching them. But it is acceptable for Neil and the people he works for to do essentially the same thing but with extreme force with deadly results, so as you can see/read I understood this metaphor.

The performances are what you expect their character types to be yes likewise these conversations get slowly more and more uncomfortable. Now before I continue I want to make this known I like Sean Bean, but his American accent in this film could do with some work, you will know what I mean when you hear it; it's like " Oh no, just no." It just doesn't sound natural and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

The only small pieces of this film I liked were the art on the clouds and sky's these also stick out like a sore thumb but in eye-catching and positive sense.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; as I have already made it abundantly clear this film has a structure and purpose to it which the more I think about it is slowly irritating me more and more, because on reflection if you are going to produce/come out with a film like this have enough grapefruits to give it a resolution/conclusion instead of having this father and son doing this activity with this news report without giving too much away and this is just an excerpt but also the final words of this film  "Our nation vulnerable." Which this entire monologue minus a small piece about him being a patriot, in a very dark light in fact once again it highlights again that if the United States of America can do these activities without getting caught in any way shape or form that it is okay, but if you don't keep your mouth shut your branded a patriot or a traitor. The person I watched this film with had this to say "If you want to put this film on, on a Sunday afternoon and fall asleep and wake up again you won't miss much."

But the strange thing is this film has some Awards credited to its name; Won 2 for an example; Leo Awards 2018; Leo; Best Picture Editing in a Motion Picture Asim Nuraney and 7 Nominations for an example [same award event/ceremony] Best Supporting Performance by a Male in a Motion Picture Maxwell Haynes.
