I disagree with the detractors of this film. Little Dixie is a movie that's entertaining and raises your heartbeat.
It's a rugged story: ex-elite soldier heads private security for a state governor. Campaign contributions come from the cartel and a kidnapping ensues... Frank Grillo is AWESOME in this. He shows nuance and intensity. We also get decent time with Annabeth Gish and Peter Greene. Greene delivers some fantastic dialogue as a wealthy, eccentric political player. And, Beau Knapp portrays a bonkers cartel villain with a mechanical ethic. He's cold, cunning, and has a demented sense of humor.
The pacing is steady and the tension ramps up well. There are some very dark scenes here, so be warned!
I also recommend Ida Red, a gritty thriller with guns and fringe elements also directed by John Swab. This movie is great! Solid acting, tension and pacing. Entertaining!
