    Cringe worthy. A leftist gun grabbers uninformed fantasy of how things work.

    Zero actual research went into writing this disaster. At no point did anyone in the film think to pick up a book or even google "how to prepare for..." and it it obvious the the writers didn't either. The scenes in the gun store and at the firing range would have made anyone, who ever actually had handled a firearm, run in fear for their life of a negligent discharge if they ever found themselves at places like this. Just enough bad information to make sure you die early in a SHTF situation to limit your suffering.

    I can't see how this has 7/10 stars

    Weird lines that the actors have over memorized or are reading from a teleprompter.

    This might be the worst movie ever made

    A truly bad film. Calls upon every derogatory stereotype that ever existed. Andrew Patterson might want to consider changing his name before he tries another film.

    An ABSOLUTE waste of time

    Not only was it not informative, it was not entertaining. I felt like they went out of their way to insult anyone wanting to be prepared

    What did I just watch?

    Mockumentary? Drama? Comedy? Satire? I'm not sure, to be honest....so whatever the makers of this film intended, they failed miserably.

    Okay, I laughed at the wife slugging the hand-to-hand instructor, Dave at the LGS was funny, and the end credit scenes are pretty hilarious..... but otherwise, this thing is cringe-worthy. I watched a couple of Roger Corman flicks yesterday that made more sense than this film (though I drew the line at Deathstalker II.....even Monique Gabrielle's perky hooters couldn't get me through that one).

    If you're the type who likes to critique the actions of the protagonists, this MIGHT be enjoyable if you can make it about 2/3 of the way in. It's like a class on how NOT to safeguard your home.
