Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

A Brilliant Conflict

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I came into this movie as I enjoyed the 2003 film "D.C. Sniper - 23 Days of Fear" and have been interested in the Sniper shootings ever since.I disregarded the negative reviews on IMDb as I felt my interest in the subject matter meant I could sit through a below average film. Not so! This film is a turd. The Acting is so bad I wonder if it is intentional from the film makers to make it appear like school grade Drama class but I miss the point if it was.The story line, gifted to the film maker by actual events, has been squandered and somehow it has become really boring. I got no understanding of the Criminals mentality - or the Cops chasing them for that matter. Within 15 minutes my mind was starting to wander.Fortunately watching on the PC meant I was able to minimise the screen and web surf to keep interest up. Be warned if you are watching on a TV set as resorting to scratching your eyeballs out may be a better alternative than viewing the entire movie.Like other reviewers I have joined IMDb just to vent about this film. It is the worst I have ever seen. If you enjoy watching bad movies, for no other reason than they are bad movies, I would suggest you watch something like the 2010 movie Titanic II instead.

This movie was pig feces sitting in a boiling hot room. I never knew you could create an account on IMDb to review movies but I'm so glad that I opened an account just to write about THIS movie, if I was the director of this "film" I'd be wishing I was a statistic of the actual events. Michael J Fox would have had steadier camera work and at least boosted the poor acting qualities of a Samuel L. Jackson wannabe. The worst part is the lowest I can rate this movie is with a 1 out of 10. I will be forwarding my billing details to Ken Foree for a refund, sadly I may never get back those 20 minutes (the most I could watch) of my life. Thank you for your time.

What are these horror fans out there thinking? Especially in in way down under? Guys, this ain't a horror flick, alright? It's an art film, a personal journey. I know some people who - like me - really enjoyed this film, but it's made for an intellectual art house crowd, not for horror fans. I guess the big mistake the producers made was to market this as a horror film, that way they got the wrong people viewing it. I've seen those things happen over and over again, especially from Lionsgate in the U.S., they go ahead and create a gigantic horror campaign only to disappoint and anger horror fans, why they keep doing this is beyond me. Anyway, I really liked this movie, I found it inspiring and engrossing and different and very, very personal. And I think Ken Foree did one hell of a job! This is his best role and his best performance ever. And it is Lommel's best film in many years, so stop beating up on this film and check it out again, alright?

There's this horror flicks community out there thinking they got a lock on things. THIS AIN'T NO HORROR FLICK, guys! Alright? It's a political-drama. Starring Ken Foree and he is, sorry guys, he is outstanding. So is the camera work and some of the other acting, especially newcomer Tory Thompson as the shooter. I personally deplore horror flicks, that's why I first refused to take a look at this one, but then my girlfriend Ginny convinced me to give it a a chance, and I must say it's one hell of a a stunner! It's intelligently written, inventive and a political bomb shell. It presents the characters without taking positions, it just tells the story and what a story it is, man! It blew my mind! Lommel and Forres writing is terrific and it goes under the skin. Just don't expect a horror flick, or else you'll be disappointed and write one of those reviews that don't seem to get the point. I saw the movie five times and I'm lovin' it, sorry, horror fans!
