    Hey,

    This is not what I expected. From what I had read in mass media news about a link with the filmmakers to Qanon, I was surprised that there was no scene in a DC--area pizza place basement with Hillary Clinton stuffing children into burlap sacks.

    Instead, we get a story about two Homeland Security agents going rogue to save a young brother and sister from the hell of child sexual exploitation. It is not the riveting film the subject deserves and I am totally at loss to explain its success as an
    independent film.

    As a film it's OK, but "thriller" is going a bit far.

    Thanks for the first comments on this film I’ve read in which I have confidence there’s no agenda. So like you, I am perplexed by the movie’s success. Some people believe they are doing the Lord’s work by eating at Chick-fil-A. Maybe a similar mass delusion surrounded this film and if
    that’s the case I have to tip my hat to the marketing team.
