- TriviaIn the scene where Dale is planting flowers, a palm tree can be seen behind him giving away the fact they're not really in North Dakota; they're in central California.
- GoofsA medical officer is NOT a "medic in the Army". The Medical Service Corps has twenty nine Areas of Concentration (essentially the officer version of a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS)). None of them are called "Medic". A Combat Medic (68W) is an enlisted MOS.
Featured review
Not Based On Fact, Ya Say?
Contrary to the initial claim of the first reviewer, just a cursory research on the web verifies that the basics of this story are true. And in real life the judge threw out the charges of animal abuse and ordered the animals be returned to their rightful owner. And nowhere in the movie is the mistreatment of animals glorified. It is a story about a conspiracy to claim falsely that animal abuse HAD occurred in order to seize the ranch. But enough of correcting obvious misstatements in reviews.
In reality, this movie is actually a well crafted suspense piece that you can relate to even if you have never been on a ranch. For those looking for extended gun fights and other lengthily episodes of gratuitous violence, look elsewhere. The emphasis here is on suspense, not violence. And there's that other subtle message from this story, viz. should business owners of all pursuits be a bit apprehensive about their government's growing penchant to shut them down and seize their property, whether based on animal abuse or health concerns.
I recommend you give the movie and Netflix a chance. It will be well worth you time.
