Vadim Perelman's thriller shouldn't go unseen, particularly if you prefer your thrillers to be more confined and, for the most part, limited to two characters. Go to Full Review

prawnda S @RT72497680 2h edit: rotten tomatoes, please freaking ban "Stephen C." even if you are using this spambot as a way to boost ratings, it's too obvious. i'm going to rate every project that i see a rating from stephen on .5 stars, it's been a policy of mine for some time now. this is a "incel" styled propaganda piece. its not the worst watch in terms of production values, but it mainly serves to stigmatize leftist ideology as violent and destructive, which is a very tired narrative. the film could have taken different angles and the director chose to be reductive instead. of course we shouldn't bomb civilians, but most people who have a problem with the state of socioeconomic issues in north america are also not terrorists, and every young person that knows there is an issue is not some kind of violent drug addicted freak. rating: 2 stars. rating after taking stephen c's obnoxious offsetting reviews into account: .5 stars.
