Jeremy (Peter Johnson) and Megan (Alexandra Faye Sadeghian) are partners ob the Buffalo police force. Megan is the junior partner but served in Iran. While shopping in a convenience store after work, a robbery goes down. Megan accidentally shoots a uniformed officer. She quits the force. In an effort to cheer Megan up they go on a camping trip with Blake (Dominic Luongo) and Gabriella (Nicole Colon) in Eden County. Here they espy the tail end of a drug bust, one where the cop (Bill Kennedy) illegally executes the criminals. Having been seen they are all hunted like John Rambo with large groups of heavily armed vigilantes.

The hunted acquire guns so they are able to fire back. AS in most stories the hunted becomes the hunter. It does seem to grow long and boring. The story tries to be critical of Second Amendment groups, but misses the mark with its gross fictional tale.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Guns of Eden is a very badly made movie. The premise is some campers see sheriff's officers murder a man. From there, it is a shoot and chase movie.

Positives: Some nice forest backgrounds.

Does point out the "gun nut cult" Parodies some current politicians as catering to insane ideologies.

Negatives: Except for Alexandra Faye Sadeghian (the female lead) no one else in the movie has any acting ability at all. Extremely crummy acting, and stumbling thorugh their lines.

Dumb plot.

Production errors all over the place. People in one shot, suddenly have different equipment in teh next view. Bodies disappear as the camera angle switches, and a host of other junk like that. A high school film class could do better.

Inaccurate depiction of how firearms actually work. "Actors" frequently have fingers off the triggers, yet the weapon is firing? Really? The special effects are added in and are just stupid and inaccurately placed.

This film makes Christians all look like ignorant, gun totting, cousin marrying, murderous, idiots.

STRONG RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY.

Supposed to be gruesome scenes, but the makeup is not even up to 1950s standards.

MAKES POLICE OFFICERS LOOK LIKE TRIGGER HAPPY FOOLS.

Except for the single black character, who is a good cop, and is then murdered, the rest of the law enforcement people are made to look bad.

My grade, is a strong F. This movie fails, fails, and fails again.

The trailer made this movie look really impressive for a low budget film. I watched it and enjoyed it for the most part. But there were a number of gaffs and plot flaws that just seemed like they were forced in for whatever reason. *Spoiler Alert!* a few examples...

-Why split up when you're running from the cops? Doesn't make any sense. Stay together. You're severely outnumbered, so there's no point in splitting up.

• Why did Blake just run at the police? He was so overcome with his girlfriend captured that he decided to run at them and shoot instead of maybe wait and try to sneak in and get to her? Not even use something as cover? I think this was suppose to be emotional. It wasn't.

• There's apparently only one way in or out of the woods. That entrance is a giant clearing where you could see a car from a half mile away. But, they act shocked when they're only maybe 100 feet away?

• The helicopter attacking Gabriela. Then it just gave up? They didn't radio it in? Doing it CGI-less was impressive though.

• Lynn Lowry made her keep her guns outside? Why? If she didn't want them, she could have just taken them instead of leaving them out after she knew the police were chasing her?

• The "Alpha Woman Killer" that came in the end? Were we suppose to say "oh boy! It's getting good!"? She died within seconds hah.

Also, the last little dialog driven scene between Megan and Preacher was too long, not intense, and just needed to end asap.

Although it didn't live up to the trailer, it was still a pretty decent time. I enjoyed watching it.. Megan (lead) and Jeremy other were very good actors who played their roles very well. I would expect to see both of them a lot in the future.

Buffalo policewoman Megan (Alexandra Faye Sadeghian), her partner Jeremy (Peter Johnson) and his friends Blake (Dominic Luongo) and Gabriella (Nicole Colon) go camping for the weekend to get Megan's mind off of an accidental shooting during a holdup. Except, well, you know how it goes. They witness the execution of a drug trafficker by Sheriff Preacher (Bill Kennedy) and his deputies and try to get out of town, only for the sheriff to send an armed militia after them.

Gregory Lamberson directed and wrote something entertaining here,as sure, we know that Megan is going to make it - the tagline says "Against all odds she will survive" - but for a low budget gun movie, he makes something pretty entertaining with plenty of twists and turns that surprised me. And hey - Lynn Lowry is in the cast! If you're looking for a movie with plenty of hardware - they even got a helicopter for the militia - this will definitely more than do the job. I also appreciate that a sequel is teased at the end.

Started out, promising... But got stupid pretty damn fast! You ever watch a movie that pisses you off because everybody is so stupid? The main character went from being a stupid, naïve rookie who killed an innocent cop to Rambo in 35 minutes? Seriously. Curly, Larry and Moe from the Three Stooges, Could've done a much better script and would've been much better ass kickers lol. And as other reviewers have said, it made hillbillies look dumber then ever, as a black person raised in Texas, I was offended for all my hillbilly friends lol. And they had the nerve to leave the movie open for a sequel! Are they kidding? I watched this for free and I want my money back lol. P. S, also they should've left the religious zealot part out. I thought that threw the script off as well. Having all these hillbillies kill in the name of God seemed a bit off to me. And that backstory wasn't explained thoroughly as it should've been. It was refreshing to see the veteran actress Lynn Lowry in the film, I loved her part. She played the big bad old lady with the gun, who took no mess from anyone.

The budget for "Guns of Eden" had to have been sizable in the area of ammunition, based on the rounds fired during the non-stop action of the film.

In Megan, there was a strong central character of a decent cop who wanted to follow in the footsteps of her dad. But Megan had the misfortune of accidentally killing a fellow officer during a shootout in a convenience store. And when she decides to visit "God's country" with her former police partner Jeremy in order to recover, she must turn survivalist against a strange paramilitary group.

Instead of finding a safe haven, Megan experienced the exact opposite of paradise. Led by "Sheriff Preacher," the zealous group that is apparently working closely with a corrupt New York Congresswoman is preparing for a "revolution." Megan gets in the middle of their messianic quest.

There was far too much violence in the film and some of the most unsavory characters imaginable. While well-acted and well-produced, the film left an unpleasant feeling about a group of disaffected religious anarchists awaiting the end of days.

Locked and Loaded, writer/director Greg Lamberson goes into his next cinematic experience "GUNS OF EDEN" with a high-action guns blazing masterpiece. Very impressive cinematography work of Chris Cosgrave, and a handful of talented individuals (recognizable from Lamberson's previous films). Megan (portrayed by Alexandra Faye Sadeghian) struggles to escape a traumatic situation that plagues her life; only to find herself tossed back into the fire when her and her friend's lives are put in danger.

Filled with action packed combat, this film thrives heavily on the character Megan. What happens when the hunted becomes the hunter? Don't miss this film!
