Decent movie. It got to the point pretty quickly, and didn't try to be anything more than it was (person/people shooting at dumb adults in car). I'm fairly certain that being an Army brat doesn't give the skill set the Army brat had, but I guess it was either that or 'I was raised in a militia' trope. There are a few slow emotional parts, but you can take advantage of those to go to the restroom or feed the dog or whatever, you won't miss much. It's worth the watch.
Downrange starts off shambling down a dusty old highway, with dull acting and a less than inspiring pace. But halfway through this movie, things really picked up for me, and I was watching the tense thriller I was looking for. From wanting to bash my head against a car door like Todd to holding my breath with every shot, give this movie a try. It might surprise you.
Terrible. Seriously. Boring. Badly-acted.
That was WAY better than I had been anticipating. It started to lose its energy at some point which I was afraid of the plot going a slower direction, but then picked up out of nowhere and just kept ramping up from there which surprised the fuck out of me. If you come to a point you start to lose interest in the plot, STICK WITH IT. This is a hidden gem for sure.
(It's really more like a 3. 7) This is such a horrifying premise. It reminded me of Jeepers Creepers 2, in a good way of course. The group of students were decent enough to root for. The sniper was an absolute menace, however, the routine of him shooting and them ducking over and over because repetitive. So while the premise is fantastic, I think it also in a way limits the film from truly being a great movie instead of an entertaining watch. I would definitely recommend though.
