Short summary

Released after 20 years in prison, ex-con Charlie Sundstrom (Bailey Chase) returns to his home town to find that his estranged son, who has disappeared into the criminal underworld, is being hunted by a ruthless gang leader. Charlie enlists the help of a rogue corrections officer (Dylan Baker), to help in the search. But the corrections officer has a tragic past of his own. Soon their desperate lives will clash in a game-changing climax. In the tradition of films like 'Se7en', 'The Usual Suspects' and 'Angel Heart', 'No Beast So Fierce' draws much of its meaning and power from its shocking ending.

The working title for the movie during production was "Kill For Me".

Actor Vic Noto(Oscar) said:"I caught a train at Penn Station to head up to the shooting locations,they picked me up in Albany,but I had no idea we were shooting in Amsterdam,the place of Birth and hometown of KIRK DOUGLAS,I got a real kick out of that. Most of the Cast/Crew I spoke with didn't realize it."

    Strong acting and interesting story. Starts out as typical prison film and then moves on to a really twisted revenge story. I was watching the movie with several others and each guessed a different and wrong ending as we watched.

    Not a perfect movie but well acted and strong story line. Not for kids as there as some harsh scenes but I think adults would enjoy the watch.

    What a terrific small budget indie thriller. It starts off slow and you wonder where it is going. Then it just grips and drags you into this finale that blows you away. Gritty acting. The sets are so grimy you feel you can touch them. And yet the camera work is so beautiful at times. The cast, including Dylan Baker, puts in a good performance and the director sure knows what he's doing. If you like film noir or neo noir, this little gem is definitely a must watch.

    I've been following the work of the director Tim Mccann for quite a while. He won at Toronto with his first ever film called Desolation Angels and was considered one of the best directors to come from NY that year. He never however got into the big time and continued to make these hard core indie movies (see All Mistakes Buried, which is a real gem). With No Beast so Fierce he's made another one that is well worth watching. A story about an ex-con who just left prison to look for his son, the characters, the dialogue, the acting, the locations: everything is spot on realistic. There's no need for huge action set pieces, no explosives, but the story tenses you up and the tension keeps piling on and piling on until you get to a terrific twist at the end. Well worth it.
