good flick bordering on the almost great, one reviewer i read said it was "lean", lol, yeah, this is the leanest post apocalyptic film you're going to see, interesting themes in this envisioning of when everything goes to hell & stays there.good flick bordering on the almost great, one reviewer i read said it was "lean", lol, yeah, this is the leanest post apocalyptic film you're going to see, interesting themes in this envisioning of when everything goes to hell & stays there. worth the watch.… Expand

There is planting and hunting for instance but the crux of the movie is whom to trust and when. A quiet film with intense, expressive faces, and sporadic heart-pounding moments. Incredibly engaging with absolutely zero humor.… Expand
