Richmond Riedel TARGET PRACTICE (2007, 98 Minutes, Video)

Target Practice" is an intelligent but raw, visceral, extremely tense updating of outdoor thrillers with an emphasis on character as much as action. The story centers on 5 blue-collar friends on a weekend fishing trip – and the hell that’s unleashed upon them when they almost run into a car that’s been abandoned in the middle of an isolated mountain road. Stopping to see if anyone needs their help, they inadvertently stumble into the middle of an undercover operation involving a CIA agent and a hidden training camp for homegrown terrorists (molded after real-life, recent discoveries in both the U.S. and Canada).
