Very heart-touching movie and greatly executed and most importantly it's based on a true story that shows us ugly reality of what's happening in the world. I can't believe that there would be any people who would give this movie low ratings. Only Pedophiles would dislike this movie or the minions of the political party which is for "pro open borders" we all know what political party is it.

I know I am supposed to be disgusted by the pedos but everyone is disgusting. Below-standard revenge action/thriller movie with bloated run time. More like Sound of Boredumb.
