    Very underrated

    I understand why some people struggled with the subject. But the film is original and engaging. I would recommend to anyone looking for something different

    Kill Bill meets the Purge

    Completely surprised me - one of the very few movies where i didn't agree with the critics and their low score. Strong female cast, good plot, mind numbing violence with an amazing soundtrack.

    One scene was shot in one take which was suburb (try and guess which one). It's a great unique movie. It compelled me enough to make this my first movie review.

    This film is criminally underrated!

    This film is not only foreshadowing the possible future but it is also predicting why things like this happen. People make mistakes and go to hell for it, not only is this film a totally original idea but it is also just plain out badass ! The only reason many critics didn't like it is because of the idea of girls drawing guns to defend their private information. I can understand why some people don't like this film as it is a very controversial subject but I absolutely love it and will soooo be adding it to my top 10 !

    Lowkey wild as hell

    I didn't really know what to expect when I watched this but I looked up ratings before and set the bar low. I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed it. I can see how some people wouldn't like it from the dialogue because it is very modern but I think that it depicts a real view of how most teenagers and young adults think and talk in 2019. Also, another thing I see people talking about is the fact that it's unrealistic. It's a movie. It's fiction. It's an imaginary world. That's what makes movies so cool, am I right? But I don't see how people can deny the fact that 1. The acting is great. Like I said, I set the bar low going in and I was looking for things that made it a bad movie. But I can honestly say that the acting wasn't cheesy and unconvincing at all. 2. The cinematography was done very well and there were some standout moments where I was like, this has its own unique style. I was impressed. 3. It was gory and shocking as hell and I think that it's hard to pull off that level of shock factor nowadays. 4. The message! I loved it. And I think a lot of people could benefit from hearing it and thinking on it and applying it to their own life. For the last half of this movie, my mouth was on the floor. I definitely recommend.

    Good story

    Was it the best film? No. But it's a fun movie, it goes more towards the teenagers, young adults but it's about a small town where everyone loses their minds and it's a fun storyline. If you're bored i definitely would watch this movie, it's not boring and it has good talented actors.

    Bill is amazing, Bella is a great actress not focusing on her in the media, Cody Christian did his job, he isn't the best actor, but he's a good actor and i can see him in more roles soon.

    • Trivia
      Officer Richter becomes kind of a spokesperson for the hysterical mob and guardian of the anarchistic 'law', so his name is surely no coincidence: 'Richter' is German for judge.
    • Goofs
      The guys preparing to hang Bex for being transgender would not be politically correct to say 'she' and 'her' when discussing her.
    • Quotes

      Lily: Smile, open up, cross your legs, spread your pussy, speak softer, scream louder, be quiet, be confident, be interesting, don't be so difficult, be strong, don't fight back, be an angel, be a whore, be a princess, be anything you want to be, even the president of the United States of America. Just kidding. Fuck you.
