Sobreviva ou Morra Tentando

Wow the critics went hard on this one. Why is everyone so sensitive and need to be politically correct these days? Just sit back, grab the popcorn, and enjoy the ride. And to those who think this film is politically motivated, give your heads a shake and go out more for fresh air lol.

Writer and director Kyle Rankin did a fine job directing this film and his cast. His story did have a few plot and technical issues, but for "not" being a seasoned Hollywood screenwriter, he did just fine. My only critique was the "mom"... I don't think she really needed to be part of the story, and the hero role played out a little on the overkill side... hence the comparison to Die Hard comments. Had Zoe's character had a better military background in the story, instead of her mom, then she could've gone ballistic and it'd be convincing. Hunting with her dad didn't quite cut it for me, although her closing comment was on point and you'll probably end up clapping like we did. Other than that, the story flowed nicely and it was well paced. The 109 min runtime was just right for the story.

All casting and performances were spot on and convincing, especially Isabel May as Zoe - she nailed her character. Cinematography and score we great, and the S/VFX were decent.

All in all, an enjoyable film. Just loosen up that collar and enjoy this film for what it is... an entertaining and well produced action thriller. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.

This movie is not bad in comparison to a lot of movies produced today. It kills me that some of the reviewers criticize the crap out it without reasoning. Don't criticize if you have nothing to back it up with. It makes your review have no credibility and you look ignorant.

Went in with low expectations, came out pleasantly surprised. Main performances were good, and surprisingly I actually cared about the main characters through the end of the film. The cinematography was pretty decent too. As far as story I give it a B for effort. It had some plot holes here and there, although no more than many of the films that come out of Hollywood. They paint the police as completely useless through the end, which was the biggest plot hole and did bother me throughout the film. But there's tons of Hollywood films that conveniently make the help impossible to reach as well.

Honestly the biggest issue to me was the streaming quality. The frames would skip periodically and the audio quality was horrible. This was probably more to do with YouTube than the film itself.

Other than that, the main villain is a little over the top and checks off all the "conservative" points throughout the film. That was a bit much and should have been more nuanced.

Overall I enjoyed it though.

Originally I watched just because I was curious what a 'conservative sponsored' film would look like. I expected a bunch of religious propaganda and cultural satire, but it isn't that whatsoever. Its truly a normal film, that too one that I would say is a real nail-biter, and will keep you watching till the end. Be prepared, you wont want to miss anything, even for a bathroom break.

The critics kill this film and so do some people on the left. But don't fall for it as this movie is really good. The movie is paced appropriately and the story is delivered really well. The Daily Wire helped push this movie which is a right wing conservative news outlet and this will stop a lot of people from watching and is probably why critics bash it but don't let politics stop you from enjoying this movie.
