Honestly... Not bad

I noticed a fair few low ratings on here... I did my research and it is clear that this is a student film that had issues in production due to the coronavirus. So I watched with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised, the story is cohesive and fluent... Theres an odd side-plot with the guy with braces that doesn't make muuuch sense but I think it kinda wraps up well at the end? The music was great, the cinematorgraphy and fight choreography was great too... It isn't perfect but I do hope that the bad reviews don't make this these guys last film. I look forward to watching the next.

Not bad, but could be better.

You can tell a lack of budget is evident. Some of the scenes are very well and professionally executed and I found myself enjoying them, I loved the witty Swat officers, easily the best part of the film... However, some scenes also lack in character and set design the basis of the story was good, was not expecting that guy to be The Arsonist, but that's the only surprise in the story. I gathered the idea that this is a film made by students, then read that it was made by 17 year olds. For kids that age this is an excellent way to kickstart their potential careers - I really do see that they could have a large career ahead of them. Will watch their future projects.
