Weird and disjointed but interesting

Warning: Spoilers
Paul Wilson (Ben Gavin) is a vet who has settled down in Iowa where he's running a farm. When his wife is killed and his diabetic daughter is kidnapped in Kansas City, he reveals to his friends that he's way more than the man they believed as he unleashes all of his mercenary skills on those who took his girl.

Also: a former friend from Iraq, Randall Johnson (Robert Coppage), is the grandson of Robert Johnson, whose deal at the crossroads didn't just take his soul, but the souls of every male child in his family afterward. Of course, they all get superpowers because the Devil (Kirk Fox) has a weird sense of humor. He also likes to play cards against John Wayne and John Wayne Gacy.

Directed and written by Michael P. Blevins, this is a movie that's never really sure of its tone and if we should get behind Paul or be afraid of him. Even by the end of the movie,. He's proved that he's pretty much an idiot and for all his military skills has no idea how to plan things.

My wife walked in and saw some of this and said that I should tell all of you that "This looks like the movie that a bunch of indy pro wrestlers would make."

Obviously, this is the vision of its creator and as such, way cooler to watch than a formula film. I'll always choose not the best acting and quick changes in tone over boring.

Also: How did they get Jerry from Parks and Rec to play Paul's dad? And how happy is Kevin Porter to be in two Tubi originals -- this and Dante's Hotel -- in the same weekend?
