Low budget, technically inaccurate TV movie of uneven tone and imperfect plotting. The stereotypes are overplayed, and it's difficult to tell whether the "Psalm-shouting, gun crazy militiamen" or the "Ruthless, ambitious yet inept FBI director" is the real villain. Frankly, I think it's the director. Of the movie, that is.
Amy Brenneman is attractive as usual, though this is hardly a noteworthy performance for her.
Political bias would be fairly hefty, anti-gun and with the feminist overtones one expects from Lifetime-style movies. Naturally, the woman are the heroes and the men are bumbling idiots. I say "would be" because it's overshadowed by the personal problems of the characters in what is supposed to be the movie's real "drama".
All in all, I'm rather glad this little catastrophe has disappeared, save for late night playings on minor cable channels. You've already wasted more time than it's worth by reading this review. Don't compound your error by actually watching the movie.
