Comment

The film has an obvious political goal, that to cause a debate on the possession of firearms and the second amendment with the American constitution. The situation is in fact rather caricatural: Victor (the husband), wrongfully decorated as hero with war, was saved in the past by Joe (the sniper), marksman of the CIA whose girl was killed by a kid armed with a revolver left the factories Liberty.

Turned little of time before the events of the September 11th, 2001 and left little time after, Appel with the murder was not noticed at its exit. The rare critics who commented on film (in particular for its exit in DVD) noted a correct realization, a honourable set of actors, but an unquestionable lack of action and a tendency to political propaganda film.
