If you like awful music, terrible editing, a complete disarray of a semblance of a time line in a movie, then this movie is for you.

Seriously, after about five minutes of the movie I was wondering when it would be over. The plot line basically is over within the first twenty or so minutes of the movie and the rest is just dragging out scenes where he's dragging a "comic relief" girl along and she's freaking out every five seconds. There was nothing capturing about this film and I am left wondering how in the world it even got distributed to REDBOX, of all places.

Honestly, go buy "Taken" and you'll have the exact same plot, good actors, and be much happier with your purchase/rental.

Worst. Rental. Ever.

The worst movie ever made.

It starts with a group of criminals kidnapping young women for killing and selling their organs. The movie then is concentrated in the same group of criminals which kidnaps again young women selling to rich people for their perverse desires.

But the criminals do something wrong, they kidnaps the wife of our hero. The movie then is a total crap coming around the criminals place and killing one by one the criminals.

The wife of our hero is never scared to death instead she feels fine and encourages the other girls. She explains that her husband is a military guy that's why she is so strong.

Do not make my mistake to watch it.

Honestly, this movie was awful. It was more like a very bad comedy; the actors sucked and looked to be more appropriate for porn films than a serious film! I'm deeply saddened that such an important issue as human trafficking be portrayed in such a careless, tasteless manner. Shame on everyone that had any part in the production of this film. Do not judge this movie on its cover- this is a wasteful two hours of boredom. The music alone will make you want to turn it off. Did I mention how bad the acting was? The whole movie from beginning to end was horrible. Acting was bad, actors were annoying, too much time spent trying to make the movie have funny parts when in reality, there is nothing funny about it.

Good action film, 11 July 2012 10/10 Author: web hardy from United States

it was a well thought out low budget action film it would have been better had they had a bit more money for the production and editing, but the acting is solid, a few award winning actors so no wonder. it is a low budget film sure, but for what they had they made the best of it, the story works, and inspired by real events makes it worth it the lead actors did a great job deserving of a bigger movie, and some of the new faces also. it could have paced up a little in the beginning but worth watching over a drink, there are a lot of studio films witch are worse, but for the low budget it was a good job for the budget loved the location, good choice Was the above review useful to you?

very low budget action film, and i have never seen anybody get that much out of that little money, so great job there. the acting was solid, and a good cast. some of the actors I know from sports and TV shows. the fight scenes looked well done, very real (im not sure they didn't hurt themselves actually) love to see Chase Stevens and Tommy Mercer I hope finally they are going to Hollywood, they did a great job. and the play between the lead Mac and Tiffany were really well done and funny moments too the editing could have been better, a bit of a slow start but I enjoyed it, good film for popcorn and a few beers. had they had a bit more money it would have been an awesome film worthy of cinema Was the above review useful to you?

the idea they set out to do is solid, and the actors are good, it could have been shot a bit better and edited a bit faster, but for a popcorn film its pretty good. there is no real use of cgi or a lot of filler, its pretty much suspense and action throughout. it is a low budget film, sure, but its better then most of the low budget i have seen, great use of, pro wrestlers, and they did a great job too, a few new faces too, some of them could goo far if Hollywood finds them. the leads did a great job and should definitely be seen in bigger action films and have higher budgets i saw interview with the director talking about the storyline based on the real human trafficking going on right here in our back yard. and that makes it worth watching just on that account.

it was a good little action film, sure it could have been shot and edited better, but all in all well done. the acting is better then most low budget films I have seen, the storyline starts a little slow, but comes together well in the end. based on real events should make it worth watching. the fight scenes seems very real and the play between the two leads is reminiscent of moonlighting, well done and a little funny at times, which is good as most low budget action takes itself far to serious. i would love to see what these guys can do with more money on their next film, they have the right ideas but could have done with a little more time and funding

Acting is below B grade, and I was actually trying to decide if movie is worse due to bad writing or bad directing, then I checked here and saw both were done by same guy. Stop making movies Tino, go do something productive with your life!

As a matter of fact, the way one scene involving PTSD portrays it is flat out insulting. Its like person that wrote this horrible waste of time didn't even bother to read Wiki entries on topics he wrote about. Its THAT bad.

If you want to see good movies about topic this movie tries (and miserably fails) to tackle, see Trade with Kevin Kline or Taken with Liam Neeson.

This movie was bad from the script to the acting to the action sequences. And as a combat veteran, I really have to question the lead actors biography (Tino Struckland). Seems there is a lot of "fluff" in it. If he spent even a day in the military he would know the tactics, uniform and dialect used in this movie to portray the military were way off base and ridiculous. A personal friend of mine had a part in the movie and that is the ONLY reason I watched it. As I wanted it, it backs one of those "too bad not to watch" kind of things and I just had to finish it. If you've got some time to waste and want to watch something mindless and ridiculous, maybe watch something else.

it was a well thought out low budget action film it would have been better had they had a bit more money for the production and editing, but the acting is solid, a few award winning actors so no wonder. it is a low budget film sure, but for what they had they made the best of it, the story works, and inspired by real events makes it worth it the lead actors did a great job deserving of a bigger movie, and some of the new faces also. it could have paced up a little in the beginning but worth watching over a drink, there are a lot of studio films witch are worse, but for the low budget it was a good job for the budget loved the location, good choice

I liked the film, it was set in the vein of the old fashion style action no CG, real fight scenes, real guns and gun fire, even the rocket flew I love some of the wrestlers I remember from Pro-wrestling, Chase did a great job the acting was good, and the storyline worked, although its started a little slow, it all pays off in the end some of the actors were really good and should be seen in big budget films and series for sure. at first I was a little confused by the title Chained, I thought is was a sequel to the first Chained but there is nothing in common which is OK, the film is low budget but they got a lot out of it well done and I hope they get better funding for the next time, they can pull it off

it was a good little action film, low budget sure, but good acting a solid storyline although it starts a little slow it works and ties together neatly in the ending it was shot fast and for very little but they really got a lot out of that, and seeing interviews with the director i found it was based on real events and the producers will donate some of sales to charities. good story line and despite its a low budget film they did a great job i like the use of real rockets and gunfire with a minimum of fake and cgi fire which these films usually are prone too especially loved the play between the two leads worthy of a TV show

They did a pretty good job, it is a little rough on editing and camera, but they were working clearly working on a budget, the writing was just as good as any studio film. And the acting good. I agree I did enjoy the play between the various characters it Tiffany and Struckmann did a pretty damn funny job at times. Well done. I understand that it was made on an extremely low budget, and some people love to compare those to large studio films, but this seems hardly fair, These guys made a good little film with a solid story. The acting was solid throughout even if the editing and camera work could have been better. and like peter said it is made to tell a serious story about a very big problem and making a film to depict it is inspiring.

I just watched the film with my wife and first we thought it was a sequel to Chained, but it is a completely different film, it threw us a bit but that was OK, it started a little slow but turned into a great little action film, we loved it, especially the play between the two leads, Tiffany and Mac it had a hint of moonlighting very cute. and I loved a few of the pro-wrestlers in the film, Chase Stevens did a great job, I hope its his start into the movies sure it was a film done for very little money, but it had a realness to it, and touched on a few real life issues. I read the producers donate some of the profit to charity, and shot it for nothing on their own in 8 days, and that makes it an amazing film, and when I read some of the critics write about it, it seems strange to me that there are several award winning actors in the film, including an Oscar nominee, and several known stage actors too, so the *bad acting* certainly is not all-round?! might be more of a personal thing or people disappointing it was not a sequel to Chained, all the leads did a great job in our eyes I would love to see these guys get properly funded and then see what they can do well done little action film, a little hint of humor so it doesn't take itself to seriously and I recommend watching it for what it is.

I am a U.S. MARINE CORPS VET and over all I really liked this movie. Yes the acting was extremely bad especially on all the males parts as the all the females acting was a little better. Any man who wouldn't go all out to extremes to hunt down their children kidnappers and personally punish them and get their children back is NOT really a man at all. I would do much worse than what this husband in this movie did if it were my wife and or child.

What a great little independent film, certainly it was done on a small budget. But they really did a good job with what they had. The story would have been amazing if made on a big budget. The lead actor Tino Struckmann did a great job leading it, solid humor and acting, a little touch of Die Hard humor, he will do great in Hollywood. Great supporting cast and some funny little smart comments with a humor ties it together well. it was a low budget indie film certainly, but that being said, the story was good and I certainly do not agree that the acting was bad. I found the roles believable and very well preformed honestly.

I have to say I do not feel the rough critique of this film justified. Sure it is an Indie film and not of a million dollar budget. but they put effort it to it. The story line is fine but certainly they needed a bigger budget to pull it all off, ambitious but if you don't try right. The banter between the two leads, Tiffany and jack is actually pretty funny, so they did it with humor and some decent fights real guns and a solid bad guy. We cant knock them for the budget, they had what they had and made the best of it, for a indie film it is pretty good. And in 10 years some studio will see it and the people in it and do a million dollar remake to do it justice.

I thought it was a great little independent film, surely they did not have a big budget but they made a pretty good movie. The acting was good and there is a really cool little play between the two lead characters. The story line was solid and could easily have been made for a big budget. I agree the lead Tino Struckmann belong in far bigger budget films he does a really great acting job. the kid has chops and I hope he gets a chance to break through big. There were some limitations set by the obvious low budget and that is what it is as they say. However that should not detract from the film feel and writing, it tells a story that have happened and thus should be made, as it is easier to talk about real life issues when making the film about them. And for that alone the film makers should be applauded.
