Watch Standoff Online
Standoff (1. 99. 8) - IMDb. A way to go for some Low- Budget Movies is to have a Confined or Closed Environment.
The thing Is, if You go that way, the Characters and the Actors have to be on Their game or the whole thing collapses under its own restraint. In this one the Setting is an Abandoned, Run Down Farmhouse in Rural Texas. The Backdrop of the Story is a WACO like Raid on a Nut- Case Religious Cult and some FBI Agents are Caught in the Crossfire and Holed- Up, Waiting for the Calvary. The Cast is a Good One with Dennis Haysbert, Keith Carradine, and Natasha Henstridge (fully clothed). The Headliner is Robert Sean Leonard, whose Film Career Stalled early on and He went to TV. The Interaction, Anxiety, and Paranoia of the Agents and Their two Cult Captives (both Women) are what's at hand here and it is a fine Dramatization of a Stressful Situation where Everyone Comes Unglued. Watch The Awakening Online Metacritic. There is some Strong Violence and the Players have the Chops to make this work.
The Plot may be Predictable or Not, but the Ending is Not the Big Noise in This One. It is a Character Study and the Script is a Good One for a Low- Budget Standoff. This Virtually Unseen Movie that Captivates with the Crackerjack Cast and the Dialog. There are frequent Shootings In between the Character Confrontations and Overall it's Worth a Watch for some Good Acting and a very Tense "Pulled From the Headlines" Scenario.
