About this movie

Brad Lunders is a teenager forcefully abducted from his home in the middle of the night by his mother’s consent to a harsh wilderness reform facility. There is no contact with the outside world and the retired war colonel in charge prides himself on breaking an inmate’s spirit in order to correct delinquent behavior. As we learn of the tragic events that led to Brad’s arrival, unforeseen circumstances threaten to tear the already eroding reform facility apart, forcing Brad to confront not only his fellow inmates and the personnel in charge, but finally his own sense of what is right and what is wrong

Ratings and reviews

Hints at a great movie, but mostly empty shell. Not cohesive; moves from one scene to the next without a clear direction. Boring; kept waiting for it to get good but never did.

From the beginning you feel intimately close to the character and feel his pain and struggles. Makes you wonder what you would do in his situation. Movies that make you believe that it could happen to you or anyone you know are more powerful than a movie of super heroes or any fictional story. I can watch this movie over and over
