A father and son make their way towards the sea, in a post apocalypse world where civilisation has failed, against almost insurmountable odd. But the father’s health is failing and they only have one bullet left in their pistol. |
| Content |
Unrelenting tension as the pair are threatened from all sides, with some very unpleasant canibalistic scenes. |
| A View |
This was one of the films made in the post Hurricane Katrina landscape. Worth a watch although sometimes I’d like to see things looking better in the future instead of worse. |
