Was that it? When an unknown military force hits Bushwick in New York, it leaves Lucy [Brittany Snow:] a second-year grad student in civil engineering running for her life, but soon enough Stupe [Dave Batista:] a ex-Marine turned janitor will come to her aid.

The script, frame work and pacing of this 94 minutes film; the massive problem that this film has would be down to the script. Because it uses an outlay which is a situation here and now based script, which basically means anything before this or indeed after this it doesn't matter as we are here just to experience this situation and that is it. Which this outlay works really well as long as you don't do one thing and that is have a giant question-mark at the end of it, now to cover my back you can work it to have a little question-mark at the end of the title in question for whatever reason such as for an example the viewers to make up their own mind would choose absolutely fine. But this film as I have already referenced doesn't do that it leaves a massive question-mark at the end of the film of what happened next? Which in turn the question has to be asked of what happened after that? Then finally what is the conclusion going to be? If you're wondering there is no sequel or prequel and in the interest of fairness and balance yes I know this film was made for TV, but still they should have done better.

The frame work is for most of the time designed for camera to represent another person [us the viewers] so it is really immersive, but sometimes on the odd occasion they should have pulled back ever so slightly [I am not being too pernickety, but when you can see a real obvious close-up of Stupe rucksack then you know you are a bit too close.] The background music puts across on what kind of atmosphere they are trying to build as well this can only be seen as a positive and the pacing is solidly good as well.

Art: the viewers get some great shots from these choppers surveying the situation down below.

Action: their origins is of conflict, riots and/or survival; these are also solidly good.

The character developments and the performances are generally speaking first of all solid versions of their character types, with likewise solid performances. But we now move on to Brittany Snow as Lucy and Dave Batista as Stupe; this partnership or/and separately keep this film going there is a solid connection of chemistry [ I should point that the solid connection is not based on their performances, but character types,] towards the later stages of this film they have a conversation in this laundry mat, which on one hand puts more substance and connection/chemistry between them, but on the other hand it should have happened at least 30 minutes previous to get a better use out of it. I know I'm going to contradict myself here and not to give too much away I know why they chose to do it here.

A quick shout out to; Myra Lucretia Taylor as Ma. She is an old school African-American woman/mother that has the respect or credibility of somebody that if you speak to her wrongly she will more than likely slap the taste out of my mouth as it is indicated with her son JP [Jermie Harris;] as the viewers will instantly pick up on she doesn't tolerate anything from him, even though he is in a game, but the sad and unfortunate thing is she only has one sequence and yes this can be deemed as comical as specially as she is aware of this current ongoing situation, but in her approach she treats it as every other day.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed: taking everything into consideration, this mark is the right outcome, based on everything they have said in this content. But however this film also does have some awards accredited to its name 2 Nominees Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival 2017 Narcisse Award Best Film Jonathan Milott Cary Murnion and Sitges - Catalonian International Film Festival 2017 Best Film Oficial Fantàstic Competition Jonathan Milott Cary Murnion.
