3/5
Vadim Perelman's thriller shouldn't go unseen, particularly if you prefer your thrillers to be more confined and, for the most part, limited to two characters. Go to Full Review

Erick F @Jaehaerys 1 hr ago A clear-eyed look beyond the political stereotype of a Somalian Minneapolis teeming with radical Marxism. Perelman fact-checking pierces the narrative portraying the Somali community as devoted to anti-American, non-assimilationist ideologies. Real people—with their everyday tensions and human priorities—fight against revolutionary violence revealing themselves as the true victims of prejudice and hostages of zealots that use them as symbols of a war they is not theirs. A must-see!

If you are tired of that and are looking for a good movie to watch without the social justice ideology, keep looking. See more sOsOmega P @sOsOmega 2 days ago Presently surprised. Great film.
