This movie came out in 2018. It may have meant one thing back then, but right now I think this movie is extremely relevant and is far better than the bad reviews it's received.
This movie is NOT an action movie. It is a drama centered around a militia group that has gathered in a hideout after a mass shooting attack against the police. The characters immediately realize that one of their own militia members is most likely responsible for the attack and the rest of the movie is about the interrogation by an informant to find the culprit.
The mood and tension are good. The actors do a decent job to bring the subject matter to life. And the writing is something that may have been unrelatable five years ago. But, today, it should resonate with every viewer. It's a not-so-subtle inquiry into what rights citizens should be allowed to have and what rights to safety they are promised. And I think it poses the question without ever preaching or deciding for the viewer what the correct answer is. It simply tells a story and leaves the rest up to you...if you stick through this one, I think you'll enjoy it.
