Looks like a Taken type revenge movie but with migrants as the bad guys.

Anyone seen it? Is it any good as a movie?

I watched it on Youtube last night, thought it was quite good for a film that appeared to be a low budget movie.
I read that Musk had uploaded it to X for a couple days

It is very low budget and clearly a little rough around the edges.

The final scenes are quite graphic and really a little shocking, some of the rest of it is just a splatter type movie

But the rhetoric is simple, and that is the powers you are presented with want this, and are not doing anything to stop it, despite being asked by voters a lot to help, courts, police, politicians, there is something amiss!

Just watched this. Don't know what to make of it tbh.

Certainly the message it wants to get across is loud and clear. It's a statement more than anything.

As a film...violence is unexpectedly graphic, acting is wooden and script lacks any finesse, so it's not great tbh.

Saw it over the weekend on X. Musk having some fun here winding people up. If the baddies weren't immigrants the film would have sunk without trace.The sort of film that Van-Damme or Steven Seagal would have acted in back in the 1980s/90s, having not been good enough for Arnie or Stallone to star in. Straight to DVD fodder of the time. Very graphic violence, passed 90 minutes, but I wasn't too bothered about getting to the end.

I can understand why Musk allowed his platform to stream it as it seems to fit his views perfectly.

Feels very right wing and political. Or maybe thats my own consciousness picking up on the news articles we hear regularly.

I've seen worse

I watched it, and whilst I get the message and pretty much agree with it it's rubbish

They weren't, some were home grown scum. He did have a little rant about immigrants near the end though.

I nearly didn't get past the opening credits the scene before was so badly acted.

Then I finally quit about 20 mins in, and I was pushing it as far as I could.

I felt there wasn't enough violence enacted on those who dodge bus/tube fares. Some creativity could have been put towards that part.
