Hidden GEM
Swamp Lion is a hidden gem of a movie, well acted and the last 30 minutes is a roller coaster.
A particularly stellar performance by actor Dominic Hoffman as Fred, "Is your coffee thin?" recalls the bone-chilling scenes from Breaking Bad.
This Indie treasure wins out over more publicized films-- Solid writing and acting throughout. The characters are well-developed and the film pulls you into the very personal story of a family at wit's end, who are doing what they need to do to save their son.
A parable about the nation's poor health system, super-imposed upon a drug lord chase thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat--Great combination between family drama and why people turn to crime for assistance when all other avenues are tapped.
