This was an unexpected pleasure. A film with a cast of no name actors who carry out their roles in award winning fashion.

This seemingly quiet Appalachian landscape is hardly the place one would think to find an African American woman alone with a child who knows and has abided by the code of the hills...until she is deceived and used as a vessel to start a war.

Danielle Deadwyler, who had a hand in production, turns in a winning performance as our reluctant hero waiting for her man to come home.

The direction , editing and script by Lane and Ruckus Skye along with the photography of Sherman Johnson give this backwoods tale a look that you can't turn away from.

Each character no doubt had back-stories that could have been looked into a bit more. But the sparsely worded script did the job.

Add this to your must-see list. I'd watch it again!

The Creed is the law of the mountain. Plot twists that smack you in the face. Totally fictitious unbelievable plot that binds you start to finish.

But you must pay attention to details to follow the story.

Highly recommended.

Very satisfying to see the payback, and from someone you'd least expect. And an Interesting look at the backwoods, wow, Deliverance on steroids, I sure hope it's nothing like that in real life.
