Review by mgtrock

This film was both physically and mentally brutal and very cleverly done in many ways. Sadly a lot of people have failed to understand what was being portrayed in this bridge (it is the mid part of a trilogy after all) and seemingly have no idea about 3 Act structure which these films are seemingly also performing as a whole as well as within their stories.

I guess the low reviews are from people who just wanted 100 minutes of Stalk/Slash/Kill and they didnt understand the rest of the story so scored it low.

You have to use your brains when watching this, the challenges of the police, families, the townspeople and how they are affected by everything that is going on around them. If you are here for 100 minutes of meaningless death then you wont figure out what is going on in front of you - sadly that actually backs up some of the social commentary that is made in this film. The selfishness, the narrow mindedness, the tunnel vision, the typical "shoot first ask questions later" way that is intrinsically part of the good 'ol USA.

This film is far better than many realise.
