Rushed is a 2021 American mystery thriller drama film directed by Vibeke Muasya and starring Siobhan Fallon Hogan (who also wrote the screenplay and co-produced the film) and Robert Patrick.

Plot

Barbara O’Brien, an Irish-Catholic mother in Upstate New York. Barbara’s life is upended when her son Jimmy, a college freshman, is involved in a fraternity hazing incident. Barbara resorts to extreme measures when she encounters empty promises in Washington, D.C.

Cast

Production

Fallon Hogan was inspired to write the film and give herself a lead role after initially thinking about doing another one-woman show.[1] Scenes were shot in Hogan's home in New Jersey.[2] The last two days of filming occurred in Central New York.[3] Ellen Cleghorne filmed scenes as the school principal, but they were cut.[4]

Release

It was announced that Vertical Entertainment acquired North American distribution rights to the film in June 2021.[5] The film was released in select theaters on August 27, 2021.[3][6][7]

Reception

The film has an 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 10 reviews.[8]

Andrew Stover of Film Threat gave the film a seven out of 10 and wrote, "All in all, this is a well-acted thriller that is surprising and sensible."[9]

Valerie Kalfrin of the Alliance of Women Film Journalists wrote, "Hogan infuses Barbara with such lived-in certainty that her performance is the strongest reason to watch Rushed. Unfortunately, she and co-star Robert Patrick, as Barbara’s husband, Jim, are mired in a story that feels too familiar, if not dated."[10]

Peter Gray of The AU Review wrote: "Rushed is a tender, yet furious drama about the hazing ritual culture of American fraternities."[11]
