The actors are unknown but could become more familiar as this entertainment company flourishes. Either it's not a B-Movie or B-Movies are pretty good in the 21st century. The plot is more Romancing The Stone than Messiah complex, which is refreshing for fantasy. There is some brutal violence and the threat of sexual violence, but the rough stuff gets broken up quickly. All of the acting was really solid. There are some rough edges that would never be in a Hollywood Royalty studio flick but the decent pacing helps the viewer skip past such scenes. This film makes Utah look very appealing, assuming it was filmed there. Metaphorically speaking on one hand the story is about an adolescent girl becoming a woman, but on the other hand the protagonist doesn't seem like an adolescent girl -- the characters around her may underestimate her awareness of the world.
