    Not good

    The movie was hard to follow and the acting was terrible. No chemistry between characters. Really not good.

    C production movie

    High rating for this movie comes from false reviews, this is a typical low budget movie with pretty bad cast, poor music choice, bad writing, one or two decent efforts at acting, but nothing else. Not worth watching, overall feel is weird with some cringe and annoying moments.

    This film looks promising for the first few minutes

    This film looks promising for the first few minutes when two American teens are kidnapped for an obvious purpose, but after that it loses its way. As ever when undercover police and other agencies get involved in drug dealing and such, the plot can become confusing, and it does so here. Leaving all that aside, would a cartel or anyone consider running drugs into the US using a submarine when common or garden boats, planes and motor vehicles can be used just as effectively, especially if coupled with the strategic bribing of officials? Added to its implausibility is the bizarre ending. The best advice that can be given here is don't do drugs, and don't watch films about them, at least not films like this one.

    Exciting!

    Grate action, writing, directing and acting. Especially with the budget. Jen Barbeito's acting stood out. Impressive. Definitely worth a watch

    Glad to know about Stryker

    This one is really good with a storyline. The film starts off with a family affair and then goes to drugs for "one hell of a ride" for Bruce, his family, the DEA and CIA - or so the narration tells us. The journey from where they start and where they end is completely amazing but not complete.

    You will feel satisfied with a fresh ending or left out to dry in angst - depending on how you like your films served and how well you pay attention to Tom Sizemore's sleepless narration - which was fitting and perfect.

    The complexity of the film is particularly challenging.

    I am not up for a challenge when I watch a film, i just want to have fun. With that said company at hand loves this kinda of gold digging. So with my shaken side fellow film watchers - i was kept in the loop.

    The acting level in this series is just damn great for an indie film and everyone including the Kids have acted exactly on point. No over acting no unnecessary drama but just simply blending into the characters of the story.

    I don't care about the so-called trivia pointed out by others concerning this film. To me, they make no difference whatsoever to the enjoyment of this movie.

    But there is one slip-up I do "kind of" mind. For this kinda of budget I would like to have seen more extras. However there was one or two wides with a meaty group.

    A well cooked piece of story telling with solid characters that make you invest in them and the story.
