Brut Force

Compelling female lead, suspenseful twists and turns, beautifully gritty shots of wine country. This indie movie has a lot to offer. Lelia Symington does a great job drawing you in. She's convincingly headstrong and vulnerable. Wish we'd get even more insights into her character. Brut Force shows that it's not about budget but the craft of the director, actors and artistic team. Hoping to see more movies by this talented director.

I love these sorts of films. Slower pace, nice scenery, no high tech fast paced high jinks. Enjoyed every minute of it. Only realised afterwards I'd got the actresses mixed up! I thought the main character was Patricia Velasquez and spent the whole film thinking she's changed a bit since The Mummy!

A good movie! Slow burn and omniscient! It is quiet riveting. The scenes and main location in California are filmed with a touch of elegance which surprisingly, adds on to the movie's intense atmosphere. I cold go on but the you need to watch it yourself. Worth the rent, ignore the bad reviews this is worth it.

This film had me on edge right to the very end. Brute Force is about a newly fired reporter who returns back to her hometown in California to investigate harassment issues from workers in a local vineyard. Things look straight forward but as the story develops she uncovers a bigger web of lies and crime that one would not expect. This is one of the better thriller films out there to date. Well done to everyone involved.

Sloane Sawyer (Lelia Symington) returns to her home in Santa Lucia to help find out who is harassing the grape pickers. There is a rich lady who owns rival land. Not too hard to figure out but it takes 90 film minutes. Lelia looks good in jeans, but that was about the extent of what the film had going for it. She asks questions and does a lot of stake outs. Lesser quality than a Hallmark. A real yawner. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

The film is so much better then the trailer. Patricia Velasquez is such a talented actress and really toke it to another level. Plenty of plot twists that had me on edge and the ending was unexpected. I highly recommend Brut Force. A good weekend flick!
