    A Must Watch Film That Is Very Timely

    This is a must watch film that is extremely timely and a great example of an independent film. Stellar cast performances with a twist and ending you might not suspect. A great look at a subject matter that is very sensitive at the moment but can be a great conversation starter. There is intrigue, crime and thriller aspects but the film also touches human emotion. I find this film to have a lot of integrity ... if you watch it until the end. Congrats to all involved in the making of this film, everyone should watch it.

    Blindfire is a must see!!

    This nail-biter thriller had me on the edge of my seat for practically the entire movie. The subject matter is very current and writer/director Mike Nell did a great job of presenting his story. The cast is very talented and performed their roles solidly. I definitely recommend people view this. It is very entertaining!

    Conversation starter

    This movie kinda pissed me off. The acts that set this event in motion seem to have been glossed over to push a narrative. The cop did what he was trained to do. With the facts he had and what he seen only 1 outcome was possible. I hope in real life the missing piece was held accountable for setting everything in motion. I'm trying not to give any spoilers here it's worth a watch.

    What a movie

    I don't know why it got such bad reviews. I loved this movie. Greatly figured out necessary circumstantial actions which may end up wrong. Worth watching. Ignore the adverse comments. There are many unanswered questions. What happened to the boys? Why FBI didn't intervene in the case?

    A film about Accountability from the Police

    Blindfire is a film that starts a conversations about what accountability from law enforcement should look like in the future. A lot of very talented actors put together great performances to put an audience in the shoes of a cop who has killed an unarmed black man during a hostage call and is trying to understand how this happened. I hope audiences give the film a chance and watch it all the way through to understand the message and the films intention.
