What the Press would say:


A true cinematic masterpiece, two not really well known actors (Lior Ashkenazi and Victor Webster) make a truly stupindous turn in American cinema. Every cast member gives a career best, and Erik Poppe shows America the truth about what we due, in a nation we claim is so free. This film leads a strong campaign with these:
