Reviews:
” …Homestead takes the slow-burn storytelling approach, with the peril escalating as the movie plays out. Brian Krause gives the movie a little star power and is easy to empathize with as a man looking to right the wrongs from his past… The two MVPs of the movie are Scot Scurlock’s Ezekiel, who comes across like the devil himself on screen and Betsy Sligh’s Irene, who has a swagger and confidence you would not expect.” Bulletproof Action
“Homestead actually feels like something is missing from the finished film. Everything just sort of plods along with little suspense or mystery as to what’s going to happen next. Even something that should have been held back such as why the gang is looking for Robert, is offered up almost immediately.” 1.5 out of 5 stars, Voices from the Balcony
