A sleepy New Zealand political thriller about NZ turning into a police state - of all countries.
Sam Neill is a hippie guy thrown into the huge mess when he was literally just trying to live in the woods away from everyone. I hope that dog found a new owner!
Warren Oates is fun as the military guy that is as laid back as the rest of the chill New Zealanders. It’s certainly more entertaining than the US’s self-imposed slide into chaos happening in 2025.
