Excellent movie,Usher Morgan's superb directorial debut, a very well told story about vengeance and redemption amazingly mixing elements of many genres, film-noir ,mafia and a thin splash of spaghetti western spliced into an awesome pastiche. The story develops at a small pace, nothing is rushed, although you can feel the tension and drama building up, it is remarkable what can come up with a low budget when you have a good script, talented actors and good direction. Strong and convincing acting as well specially the 2 main female leads Katie Vincent and Elyse Price, kudos to the whole cast. I am already ready in the queue for more work from this new gifted director.
