A nice idea really, but without him knowing it was also the worst idea they could have had, as rather by chance, they witness local Sheriff Preacher (Bill Kennedy) and his deputies illegally execute a drug dealer out in the woods to bury him without a trace. They're caught but make it away, but since the cops cut off all escape routes, the foursome have to try to make it out through the woods on foot. And the thing here is, it's not just the cops chasing them, but Preacher also calls to help the white supremacist militia he secretly leads, and they're all well-trained and well-equipped in weaponry, so they outnumber and outgun our heroes. And soon enough, our heroes start to fall until it's down to Megan to take on the whole militia - but if she's one thing she certainly is combat trained ...<p>Horror fave Lynn Lowry plays a small but memorable role as a shoot-first-ask-questions-later landowner.<p> <p>A very tight action thriller that admittedly might not be based on the most original premise - but it really gets the most out of what's at hand and manages to get some political undercurrents into the mix without in the least disturbing the story. Now why the film works quite as well is not only because it's very slickly directed and quickly paced, with an eye on tension and suspense as well as physical action, but also because it's populated by a bunch of colourful characters, with Alexandra Faye Sadeghian sure making a great badass heroine. Plus this film fittingly doesn't hold back when it comes to violence but doesn't go over the top either, giving the story just the quite level of realism to make it visceral - and make the whole film a pretty awesome watch. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2022"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
