Blood in the Water stars Willa Holland and Alex Russell, as Veronica and Percy, respectively, a young couple who are spending their summer making money house sitting a lavish Hollywood Hills mansion, a place they could clearly never afford on their own. They get wrapped up in the shady world of drugs and betrayal when Veronica’s ex-boyfriend, Freedgood, arrives and blackmails Percy into helping him with a major drug deal. The film perfectly captures the Los Angeles beauty and lifestyle, from multiple views of the skyline to the incredible production design to the attractive, up and coming cast. With breathtaking visuals and a plot that will have you on the edge of your seat, it’s the perfect date-night film.

Filmmaker’s David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud took documentary film making to a new level by intercutting emotional interviews with raw action footage taken from the front-lines through helmet-cams. These techniques created a truly immersive experience, I really felt like I was on the battlefield, navigating the terrain and reacting to flying bullets with our soldiers. Though I was impressed by their bravery in combat, I was most connected to the soldiers who were able to share their tour experiences. It’s amazing to see the relationship that forms between these men and women during their time overseas. Their love extends onto the front-lines, and you realize not only are they fighting to protect our country, they are fighting to protect each other and make sure they get home safely. I definitely recommend it.
