Excellent Movie!!!, 15 December 2005
10/10
Author: tyronnaxeq from United States

Very well done film that should be released on DVD. The closest movie I have seen to this was Daylight with Sylvester Stallone. I pretty much think they based Daylight off of Short Walk To Daylight. Short Walk was the superior movie in my opinion. There are no fancy computerized effects in this at all. This movie was made way before that technology came around to be used for those effects, and they did a damn good job of it. I don't remember all that much about the movie anymore as I saw it a total of 2 times when I was much younger. The acting was very well done from what I remember of it, and this also has a solid storyline to it. I definitely recommend seeing this movie if they ever decide to release it back on Television or some other media.
