It is impossible to make a film about a militia without at least a weak police flavor. Of course, the picture is not the same with the approval and though someone with the same mentality as paranoid as the characters in The Standoff At Sparrow Creek could no doubt find romance in masculinity apocalyptic of the film.
Standoff’s political implications at Sparrow Creek put his exceptional dialogue and strong performances to the fore, revealing the thriller under the controversial premise. James Badge Dale plays Gannon, caught in the middle of a hunting trip by the sound of automatic fire in the distance. He gets in his truck and drives to the rural Lumberyard, where he and six other members of an anonymous Texas militia meet each week to discuss the government.
