Rating info:
violence
Scenes of strong bloody violence include characters being shot with guns, resulting in large spurts of blood upon impact, and a man slitting another man’s throat with a knife.

threat and horror
A wedding ceremony is invaded by armed gunmen, who hold the guests hostage and threaten their lives. A man is coerced at gun point into agreeing to give large sums of money to his attackers.

language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’) as well as milder terms (‘prick’, ‘shit’, ‘asshole’, ‘bullshit’, ‘Jesus’, ‘hell’, ‘God’, ‘damn’).

injury detail
Strong bloody images include the sight of a heavily blood stained floor after multiple people are shot and killed, and a shot of a knife dripping blood after it has been used to kill a character.

There is brief sexual threat. A woman lights and smokes a joint. There are mild sex references, including the implication that two characters have slept together.

Know what pisses me off these days, is that nobody knows how to make a movie, especially in DTV land (if we're still calling it that). Look at the DTV movies of the 90's and early 00's. At least they had style, imagination and some decent action. Even if the budget isn't the biggest there's absolutely no excuse for dullness. It should be 80 minutes of pace and quick dialogue. It seems like there's a complete lack of talent in this arena of filmmaking.

Things are in a sad state indeed, I kind of gave up hoping during the past decade, only counting on a few exceptions to come out of the swamp... Even at the level of EX4 it seems kinda hopeless. WANTED MAN can't get here fast enough.

I'm very tempted to watch Jennifer Lopez's SHOTGUN WEDDING for the sake of seeing this premise (which I really don't care for to begin with) done in a decent way, and am very sad DL isn't in that version.
