Code 207

I am a U.S. MARINE CORPS VET and over all I really liked this movie. Yes the acting was extremely bad especially on all the males parts as the all the females acting was a little better. Any man who wouldn't go all out to extremes to hunt down their children kidnappers and personally punish them and get their children back is NOT really a man at all. I would do much worse than what this husband in this movie did if it were my wife and or child.

I thought it was a great little independent film, surely they did not have a big budget but they made a pretty good movie. The acting was good and there is a really cool little play between the two lead characters. The story line was solid and could easily have been made for a big budget. I agree the lead Tino Struckmann belong in far bigger budget films he does a really great acting job. the kid has chops and I hope he gets a chance to break through big. There were some limitations set by the obvious low budget and that is what it is as they say. However that should not detract from the film feel and writing, it tells a story that have happened and thus should be made, as it is easier to talk about real life issues when making the film about them. And for that alone the film makers should be applauded.

They did a pretty good job, it is a little rough on editing and camera, but they were working clearly working on a budget, the writing was just as good as any studio film. And the acting good. I agree I did enjoy the play between the various characters it Tiffany and Struckmann did a pretty damn funny job at times. Well done. I understand that it was made on an extremely low budget, and some people love to compare those to large studio films, but this seems hardly fair, These guys made a good little film with a solid story. The acting was solid throughout even if the editing and camera work could have been better. and like peter said it is made to tell a serious story about a very big problem and making a film to depict it is inspiring.

If you like awful music, terrible editing, a complete disarray of a semblance of a time line in a movie, then this movie is for you.

Seriously, after about five minutes of the movie I was wondering when it would be over. The plot line basically is over within the first twenty or so minutes of the movie and the rest is just dragging out scenes where he's dragging a "comic relief" girl along and she's freaking out every five seconds. There was nothing capturing about this film and I am left wondering how in the world it even got distributed to REDBOX, of all places.

Honestly, go buy "Taken" and you'll have the exact same plot, good actors, and be much happier with your purchase/rental.

Worst. Rental. Ever.

Good action film, 11 July 2012 10/10 Author: web hardy from United States

it was a well thought out low budget action film it would have been better had they had a bit more money for the production and editing, but the acting is solid, a few award winning actors so no wonder. it is a low budget film sure, but for what they had they made the best of it, the story works, and inspired by real events makes it worth it the lead actors did a great job deserving of a bigger movie, and some of the new faces also. it could have paced up a little in the beginning but worth watching over a drink, there are a lot of studio films witch are worse, but for the low budget it was a good job for the budget loved the location, good choice Was the above review useful to you?

very low budget action film, and i have never seen anybody get that much out of that little money, so great job there. the acting was solid, and a good cast. some of the actors I know from sports and TV shows. the fight scenes looked well done, very real (im not sure they didn't hurt themselves actually) love to see Chase Stevens and Tommy Mercer I hope finally they are going to Hollywood, they did a great job. and the play between the lead Mac and Tiffany were really well done and funny moments too the editing could have been better, a bit of a slow start but I enjoyed it, good film for popcorn and a few beers. had they had a bit more money it would have been an awesome film worthy of cinema Was the above review useful to you?

the idea they set out to do is solid, and the actors are good, it could have been shot a bit better and edited a bit faster, but for a popcorn film its pretty good. there is no real use of cgi or a lot of filler, its pretty much suspense and action throughout. it is a low budget film, sure, but its better then most of the low budget i have seen, great use of, pro wrestlers, and they did a great job too, a few new faces too, some of them could goo far if Hollywood finds them. the leads did a great job and should definitely be seen in bigger action films and have higher budgets i saw interview with the director talking about the storyline based on the real human trafficking going on right here in our back yard. and that makes it worth watching just on that account.

it was a good little action film, sure it could have been shot and edited better, but all in all well done. the acting is better then most low budget films I have seen, the storyline starts a little slow, but comes together well in the end. based on real events should make it worth watching. the fight scenes seems very real and the play between the two leads is reminiscent of moonlighting, well done and a little funny at times, which is good as most low budget action takes itself far to serious. i would love to see what these guys can do with more money on their next film, they have the right ideas but could have done with a little more time and funding
