A scenario you would hope would never happen and if it did that someone you love would not be involved. Yet they happen in the US with staggering regularity and it's taken this long to have a film made about it.
The film is a low budget. A little bit preachy. A little bit like Hallmark tried to make A Winter's Bone. And there's more suspension of disbelief needed as the plot plays out.
But where it excels is in the portrayal of how it would play out in this horrific situation. I was aghast at how real it felt and how easily it could happen.
I didn't like the final 10 minutes and how it wraps up but it was somewhat inevitable that it would need to close that way.
Well worth a watch though.
Were I in the US with teenage kids, I'd be petrified after watching this.
