Condition of Return is a really good, gripping indie film about a controversial subject. The film follows two law enforcement officials as they investigate a woman who kills eleven people in a Church shooting. As disturbing details come to light, it begins to appear that the Devil is closer than you think.

There is an eerie feeling to the movie because the story successfully meshes the Devil to a mass shooting. With such shootings now commonplace across the US, the premise could be truer than you think. Dean Cain, Natasha Henstridge and AnnaLynne McCord all give great performances which elevate the script. The intense and twisty nature of the story demands intense performances from the cast who do not disappoint. It is good to see both Cain and Henstridge in more features after they disappeared from our screens not too long ago. Natasha Henstridge has a knack for playing potent villains and here, her villainous turn is both menacing and memorable.

The grimdark cinematography is completely in line with the tone of the story while the violence is both shocking and brutal. Such dark and gloomy crime thrillers with a religious aspect are now a rarity in Hollywood these days so it is great to see a story that dives into the Devil-ish aspects of how crimes are committed.

Tense, gripping and potent, Condition of Return is a well made crime thriller that ticks all the right boxes. The film has an impressive cast, an interesting premise and good execution all of which combines into a visceral experience.

The film is a gripping mystery/crime film, that delves into the dark and twisted world of demonic possession. I liked the plot twists where Eve Sullivan (a churchgoing woman) claims that she was instructed by the devil to commit murder and save her soul. A key observation is that the plot is intense and the suspense is palpable as the story unfolds, revealing the consequences of her actions. Besides, the acting is superb, particularly from the lead actress who portrays her character's descent into madness with chilling authenticity. Overall, "Condition of Return" is a well-crafted thriller film that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

If you're in the mood for a thought-provoking and gripping movie, and want to be entertained 100%, this movie is a must see. Between the excellent acting and a storyline that leaves you thinking about so many things, this is film worthy of your time!! From the very beginning, so many current topics in this world are presented to us in such a way so that we can talk about them and try to make the world a better place. The first five minutes of the film sets the tone for the rest of the time. The chemistry between AnnaLynne McCord, Dean Cain and Natasha Henstridge is something to watch. Best to watch the film when you can give all your attention to it.

Condition of Return kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole movie. Whoever wrote the script is an excellent storyteller! It's a plot I've never seen before in a film and I hope there is a sequel.

The acting is superb! AnnaLynne McCord gives an amazing performance. I was not surprised when she won Best Actress for Condition of Return at the Sedona International Film Festival! It was well-deserved! Ryan Bates and Lametria Jackson were fabulous and I hope to see them in more films in the future.

You will find yourself immersed in the story and the characters and question yourself on "what would you do if you were the character"?

Highly recommend watching Condition of Return!

Annalynne McCord and Dean Cain were amazing actors in this. The script is top-notch. The subject matter is deep and thought provoking. Made me think about a lot of things. Including my own state of mental health. I saw the downward spiral of many bad things happening to a woman and her being willing to do whatever it takes in order to get what she wants and stop her suffering. The dichotomy between her religious beliefs and the dark path she decides to take is really interesting. Highly recommend watching this one! It was an amazing film with a great cast and a very relevant subject matter........

Watched it twice already!

Its hard to find movies that keep you thinking from beginning to end AND after the film is over.

Great locations and cinema-photography.

The lead 3 actors were perfectly cast and did a great job bringing the story to life.

If your looking for a good time.
