This film would have been given a higher mark if it wasn't for: our backdrop is New York 1814, where American troops for this timeframe are hunting and killing native Americans and after is powderkeg of a situation quickly gets out of hand Captain /Colnel Hezekiah Holt takes his unit of soldiers that includes Private Lachlan Allsopp [Jonathan/Jon Huber] seeking revenge for what had taken place here.

The pacing for this roughly 91 minutes film is good as in it knows what it wants to do than just smoothly gets on with things.

Art; as we spend their entirety of this film out the nature, this is smoothly incorporated into the film and it is nicely shown throughout and in the ending credits we have this scroll going up the screen with ending credits obviously, but we also have these illustrations appearing on this scroll as well this was a good surprise and excellent imagination. The action as this relates to the art little bit here as well; we spend a moment in time [running behind Hezekiah Holt [Ezra Buzzington] this was smoothly elegant and a nice surprise, as it relates to the other action; let's just say this was good combat. We also have a drop of comedy where Yancy [Nolah Segan] has been given a task to perform by his Colonel, he reluctantly does it, but he gets another soldier Sherwood Beal [Robert Longstreet] to hold his things and when Yancy isn't looking Beal just throws them somewhere.

Character developments and the performances; now generally speaking the character developments and the performances are all good. But we now come on to the problem that this film has; I find it incredibly rich that this Colonel takes it badly Privates/guess on my part Myles Holt [Ian Colletti;] his son dies. So here was me thinking; "Well you have been killing these Native Americans off their lands and killing them with in painful ways and you have the audacity to take your child's death badly, I am not saying he doesn't have the right to take it bad, but he doesn't have the right to be in a state of shock, when he is having a wash, even though in the grand scheme of things his son had a quick and peaceful death. Before I receive backlash of any description I am sure that some of the Native Americans were not completely innocent, but likewise before I receive backlash from the other side of the coin, maybe if you didn't take their land they wouldn't be hostile in the first place." But later on in the film; the Colonel does say "We're the only monsters left out here ." So he acknowledges that he is far, far from innocent.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; on reflection I decided to award another mark, but I couldn't award it a positive mark, just based on everything I have said in this review and usually I don't give this information away, but for the fan base or wrestling community Jonathan/Jon Huber as  Private Lachlan Allsopp trigger warning, he does die in this film, but he is in it for roughly 93% of it.

For those people that don't know Huber is a beloved men/wrestler within the wrestling world that sadly is no longer with us; RIP Jonathan "Jon" Brodie Lee/Luke Harper/The Exalted One Mr. Brodie Lee/Mr. Brodie Lee Huber 1979-2020. So there is only one way I can finish this review "It's Wednesday. You know what that means."
