Terror on the Prairie (2022)
I was hoping for a lot more
This was looking good until Hattie couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a shotgun, then had several opportunities to shoot the bad guys and didn't. If you're gonna have a gun fight with guys standing still out in the open at 15-20 yards, someone usually gets hit unless everyone is blind. Those scenes are so flawed it's impossible to overlook. The McAllisters aren't interesting characters and after the shootouts with the bad guys I lost all interest in the movie. So far every Daily Wire movie I've seen has so many nonsensical actions by the main character it ruins the movie, and this one is no different. Hopefully they spend more money on writing next time and maybe hire a consultant that's actually fired a shotgun if you're gonna do a shotgun scene. The story could have been great, but the implementation was bad.
Run Hide Fight (2020)
Lots of goofs and impossibilities, but entertaining nonetheless
If you want to be entertained and don't get hung up on details this is a good movie. Like a lot of movies, many things wouldn't make sense in real life. I wanted to rate this an 8 or 9 for entertainment, but some of the flaws are just too elementary to ignore for that rating.
Though a few things in the movie didn't make sense during the movie, I found after the movie I questioned many other things. Besides the mainly minor flaws already covered, the main flaws I see are:
1) No one seems to hear gunshots in the same building or even outdoor shots when people are nearby outside. As a hunter and target shooter I found that unbelievable. I can hear people target shooting many miles away with pistols. Apparently in this movie it's difficult to hear a hunting rifle a couple hundred yards away, or shotguns and rifles being fired inside a school.
2) Everything seems delayed. Though everyone was calling 911, the police don't seem to get notified until much later. Though everyone has a phone and is streaming, the other classrooms don't seem to realize what's going on until much later when it's convenient for the story to move along.
3) Zoe, and at the end her dad, seem to be one step ahead of all the cops at all times.
4) Zoe's last action at the end doesn't seem to agree with all of her previous actions and even though looks good for a revenge theme, I don't think was justified.
5) I find it hard to believe a room full of teenagers would allow one wounded kid with a revolver to hold them hostage for a length of time without at least one or two trying to stop him.
6) Everyone seems a little dim-witted except Tristan, Zoe, Zoe's Dad, and her friend Lewis. The teachers and other faculty don't seem to catch on too quick to anything, and the cops just appear to be mindless drones sent to surround the school extremely late. Even when Zoe is trying to warn people, with blood all over her, they question her. Luckily during the movie I wasn't thinking too hard about it.
7) Although I'm a conservative, I find it odd for a conservative outlet to champion a movie about a school massacre, and then not to take the opportunity to point out any kind of prevention or major failures that contributed to those shootings. Some people said this wasn't gory but many people were shot point blank and died bloody horrible deaths choking on their blood. I believe that's called gory. To not be gory it would pan away and you'd hear a shot.
