I've never watched a Guy Pearce film I didn't like until now. What the hell was he thinking starring in this? That was dreadful. I'm sure he walked out of the premier thinking the same thing. I don't want to waste my time getting into detail but the story was extremely unrealistic. Not to mention literally every actor other then the two leads were horrible. Whoever produced this film should be thrown in jail for stealing an hour of my life. 3 stars

My two-star rating is...generous. Guy Pearce is a usually a terrific character actor, but this was just so bad it was almost funny. I feel terrible saying this about someone's work, but even the camerawork and lighting was distractingly bad. I had to stop watching and look up the director to try to puzzle out how in the world Mr. Pearce ended up in a film like this. The casting is ridiculous. I've seen some wonderful films with amateur actors, and new or new-ish directors, sadly this ain't one of 'em. I'm very sorry. I usually don't leave such negative reviews, it was just such a shock to see Guy Pierce in something this badly done.

Worst movie seen Guy in. Only made 30mins in terrible acting & story.

I thought Guy was better than this. What an awful movie. Bad story line, badly told and really bad acting. Even if you are bored and just want something to watch just sit outside the cinema and watch the clouds go by, it will be far more entertaining

Guy Pearce and Devon Sawa were fine but everything beyond that was laughable. Every other actor felt like they were picked up off the street. The story and script was terrible. The weapon handling and action was sloppy and poor. I hope Pearce was paid a ton

What's really disturbing about this C grade affair is it somehow has a quality actor like Guy Pearce in the lead.

Indeed, had it not been for Pearce I would not have given this flick a second look. That said, after taking a look I was quick to toss this one back into the "bargain bin of doom", where, I feel, it belongs.

In short, this is truly horrible. Aside from Pearce the only trivial point of interest being the presence of one of the actors from the original Magnum PI. See if you can spot who I'm talking about (assuming you can endure more than five minutes of this thing).

1/10.

I read the previous reviews. Thought to my self, it can't be that bad. I like Guy Pierce. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! Horrible plot. Lame "action". Stiff acting. Loaded with barely B rated actors.

York Alec Shackleton..............remember it...............RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN if his name is listed as the Director.

Never seen someone who thinks he's a director have absolutely NO VISION whatsoever.............WHEW

The only one who looked embarrassed to be associated with such garbage as this film was the horse at the end ... and it was the best actor too.

Your typical summer romp staring Guy Pearce. Some misunderstood bikers roll into town and hijinks begin.

Novice director and pro snowboarder York Shackleton was better behind the camera than he was directing his cast, and the premise behind the story by amateur writer Chuck Hustmyre was good, but the screenplay certainly needed some fine-tuning. Nevertheless, the whole taking-over-the-small-town concept was quite intriguing. Sure there were some cheesy moments and some plot and technical issues, but remember, this was written by a newb, and I've seen much worse lately from seasoned writers. The pacing was decent, although some scenes were slacking, but the 91min run-time was on point. And for a b-grade film, the score was actually good and well placed. Casting was actually not bad, although Guy Pearce needed to be more awake than the dull he was, but everyone else played their roles good, even WWE diva Barbie Blank. This film is certainly better than the current 3.7, and not deserving of the two other review ratings of 1/10. At least the producers didn't upvote their film with fake reviews, and that I respect, and should alone be the reason not to give this film 1's and 2's. You really want to see a film deserving of 1's and 2's, see the movie I saw before this one, Nation's Fire (2019), and you will see what bad acting, directing and writing really looks like. For a b-grade film by new filmmakers, I actually enjoyed it, and is worthy of my 6/10. To see more of my 1000+ ratings and 800+ reviews, click on my username.

Guy Pearce should be ashamed.... Every thing is wrong in this movie, the actors are pathetic, the plot is stupid.....watching only 20 minutes of it is a waste of time (difficult to find worse acting than the actors in this pathetic s..t

Disturbingly bad. Don't bother, find something better to do like watching paint dry.

This turkey is a throwback to the B Outlaw Biker Films of the 1960s. Terrible acting. Ridiculous story plot and amateurish action scenes. Poor Guy Pierce; his once promising film career has hit the skids. A few cute biker type chicks give it a one; not much else to like here.

I like to give each movie the benefit of the doubt, after watching the whole movie I could not believe they actually got Guy Pierce to do this movie. Did anyone Read the script? Was their any kind of proof editing done before it went into syndication?For him to put his name involved with this, it had to be someone's family member that begged him to do this.

I used to like some of the films Guy Pearce acted in. Snowy River, Memento, L.A Confidential ... and god knows this guy has worked A LOT in the last 20 years. But this movie, the writing, the acting .. the EVERYTHING, is just sad! Predictable, stunted, poor flow, lousy dialogue. The concept had legs, but just didn't deliver on any level. There are a lot of other films that you should use/waste brain cells on .. not this one.

Lowest of low budget tv-movie offerings i've seen since Hobo with a shotgun! Guy Pearce had a slow day at the office and the budget barely stretched to cover the $50 apiece to the small town folk extras and the toy store pop guns. Painful movie, acting and action this 'movie' made my eyes bleed!

Any rating over a 3 star is almost certainly a shill

Flawless,...well for Guy Pearce anyway. How he managed to maintain professionalism whilst obviously being held hostage by the town until he agreed to make this 'Hellulah' of a film.

Well done Guy, you're free now man.

Seeing one of the best actor in the world in this was a bit of a shock, Guy Pearce is much better than his role in this. He plays a Marshall that hasn't fired a gun in ten years, interesting when your town is being held at gun point by bikers. Its a pretty routine action film that doesn't pull any punches, you've seen all before. It keeps you entertained for an hour and a half, better with an alcohol beverage. Lets see more acting roles like The Rover, Guy?

Terrible plot. Quite possible the worst garbage ever written. And I like Guy Pearce as an actor but this was terrible. Characters made zero sense. If anyone got paid for making this movie they should be indicted for theft.
