By no means great or even that good, but as far as these direct-to-video flicks go, it was entertaining enough though pacing felt off and the two elements of suspense-thriller and mystery never quite gelled (could partially be due to the initial production was back in 2015 and shut down due to budgetary issues and back in production five years later). And while he was a one day, one location shoot, Mel Gibson seemed to be having a good time (one scene his character is supposed to be hammered, it wouldn't surprise me if he was a bit drunk). Also, Scott Eastwood might not have his father's charisma, but he was alright in this one. **2.75/5**

I generally do not like action movies; but the word "sociopath" in the description caught my attention. I AM a fan of abnormal psychology in movies I watch. I thoroughly and surprisingly loved the movie and watched it twice in one week just to catch any nuances that I had missed in the first viewing. I enjoyed watching the characters (even Cole). I even bought my own copy of the movie so that I can watch it as often as I want.
