Verdict on Little Dixie
Little Dixie is an action thriller following a fixer who finds himself hung up to dry. He must now do everything in his power to fix a truce and save his daughter from the Cartel member who kidnapped her. It sees him crossing the lines he drew up and looks to do whatever it takes.
This is a movie that looks to take a different take on the get-out before it is too late concept. It shows how one person is left with no option but to their hands dirty to complete the job. All while showing the fragility of a truce between a Cartel and Government figures. It all ends up being a typical late-night action thriller.
