The Place For The Latest Movie Reviews
Cast: Emily Alatalo, Tim Rozon, Jon McLaren, Milton Barnes, Mikael Conde
Desperate to find refuge for her children, Chloe Marvino runs away from her Mafia tied husband, and finds shelter in a cabin with a recluse drifter named Jake. But as her husband’s henchmen draw closer to her, it turns out that Jake is the biggest enemy of them all.
'Hunting Grounds' tells the story of Chloe, a mother on the run from her crime boss ex-husband who wants to take their two children away from her. When the ex's goons find her a local man and ex-marine helps her out but is then drawn into the fight as well. Escaping into the woods and ending up in a cabin owned by Jake they will have to battle not only the bad guys from the outside but Chloe will also have to worry about Jake who is slowly losing his grip on reality.
'Hunting Grounds' is a action/thriller that hits all the right notes. The story is simple but that is to be expected but the rest of the film including the action and acting are top notch. Emily Alatalo is amazing as Chloe, she is beautiful and handles her action scenes with expertise. Tim Rozon is also brilliant as Jake, the ex-marine who is pushed over the edge and totally loses it. The rest of the cast were all good as well in their roles.
Director, Tim Rozon co-wrote the film with James McDougall and James Mark. He does a great job keeping the film moving at a great pace and filming all of the intense action scenes.
'Hunting Ground' is an adrenaline pumping action film filled with brutal action scenes that would give "Rambo" a run for its money. If you like a good action film then you need to treat yourself to this one when it is released on VOD on 5/16. I had so much fun watching this one and you will too.
