Allegiance
Allegiance is a 2012 American war thriller film on DVD, directed by Michael Connors and starring Aidan Quinn, Seth Gabel & Bow Wow.
A young army officer, Lieutenant Sefton, who decides to help a desperate soldier go AWOL on the night before their unit is deployed for combat in Iraq. Sefton, already hated by his unit for gaining a transfer which will keep him from being deployed, is now facing the wrath of his entire unit and certain imprisonment.
Honour or betrayal? Sefton?s conscience is clear as he and the young soldier plan the dangerous escape. Hero or traitor? Sometimes the enemy is not on the outside but within?
Critic Reviews:
- " A genre-savvy, ethically entangled military thriller by first-timer Michael Connors. " – Eric Hynes
- " Allegiance's commitment to shades of gray translates into excellent opportunities for its cast, and they take full advantage. " – Maitland McDonagh
- " I love when a movie creates an inherently dramatic situation and just lets it go. Sometimes plots try too hard. Allegiance just goes where the story takes it. " – Fred Topel
