Underdogs fighting back in seige situations is a genre that was heralded by Die Hard in 1988 with boys-own adventures like Toy Soldiers and Under Siege following suit in the 90s but this 2016 entry about a punk rock band caught up with a murderous neo Nazi gang opts for horror over adventure - the band members bear weapons, not MacGyver-style smarts, and in the absence of plot, the audience is asked to remain interested in 90-minutes of weapon choices (fluorescent tubes, box knives, vicious dogs), the bullet count (he has three bullets left, she has two...), and the difficult task of keeping track of who has and who hasn't been violently hacked to death.
★★☆☆☆
