Fantastic little film. A tight, compact thriller that works on (mostly) every level. Will Patton does what he's been doing for so long now - he delivers a great performance in a complex role and does it in the most "everyday guy" way. The script is efficient and effective, it is exactly the right amount of action and family drama with dialogue that is actually believable. As Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com said, I believed every minute of it. The only negative, and it is really just me being selfish, is that it is too short. I would have enjoyed a little more backstory. That aside, it is absolutely worth a watch and Will Patton's performance from beginning to end is riveting.
