Viewing Notes

Hadn’t watched this in a good long while so I picked up the Blu from Shout Select for fairly cheap and rewatched.

I was happy to discover this fits my definition of a siege movie! For most of the run time, the leads are trapped within a portion of an abandoned factory, surrounded by gang members.

The setting feels very much like East St. Louis due to the single location setting but it was actually filmed in the abandoned Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill in Atlanta, Georgia.
