    Emilio Estevez directs and stars in this movie as a sort of modern day Robin Hood type. I loved the story and Emilio does a fantastic job. I highly recommend this movie.

    I loved a lot of things about this movie, but there are just two things in the end of the film which made me unable to rate it a full 5 stars. I loved how this film addressed the unemployment crisis in America. I loved that Emilio Estevez directs and stars in this movie. I lov... read moreed Emilio's character, he was a hero to me too! I loved the comedy in the movie. And then the ending had to go ruin it for me. I still think this is a good movie, and everyone should check it out.

    An interesting film about a young man who has a hard time finding a job, turns to crime. He becomes a Robin Hood to the American farmers who are getting screwed by the system. Emilio Estevez and Demi Moore are awesome in this movie.

    A well put together thriller from actor/director Emilio Estevez.
    If you haven't seen this film, definitely give it a try.
