    Nice action

    For 37min full of action, it was nice, keep going for simillar short movies, hope to see more of that in near future

    Experimental action project

    Yes, dialogs are not perfect. But I think the movie is focused on action scenes, fighting choreographies etc. for the further projects. People. this short movie's budget is 15k. I'm betting all the budgets spend for this technical things. All the actors and actresses may volunteer the film. So... liked it

    Give it 37 minutes...

    High action on a low budget ... for what it cost, its amazing!!! Its basically a 37 chase/shoot'em up sequence. If that is what you like, give this a try.

    I can't go above a 6.5 as there is minimal plot, acting, dialog, but its action packed basically the whole way through.

    Pretty awesome stuff for a $15k short I must say!

    I always review a movie based on budget as well as acting, filming etc and this for a 37 minute short demonstrates some damn good photography and innovative at that - Yes some of the CGI is patchy but who cares? it is a rip roaring rollercoaster of a ride from a relative newcomer to directing and producing and to have made this is quite an accomplishment as it beats most of the rubbish coming out of Hollywood hands down.

    I just wish the director had not got the cast and his mum to post the shill 10/10 reviews as they really are not needed as the thing stands on its own and should be reviewed as an action packed, non stop demonstration of what can be done on a low budget with CGI , action sequences and mayhem and for something made on a $15k budget you can only but be impressed.

    CGI fire and explosions are hard to accomplish with a low budget but some of the scenes are rather inventive; for example one of the bad guys brings out an Arnold Schwarzenneger style Predator machine gun and lets rip with this portable Mons Meg tearing a car in half which splits in two and flips - very nice indeed - so many good scenes and gore splattering it is hard not to be impressed.

    Yes there is zero story , yes there is not much in the way of acting, yes the fight scenes are a bit patchy but for some reason I still loved its non-stop rip roaring action-fest par excellence so I give it a very fair 7/10 for what it is and let us just hope the director gets a chance to make something more and see if he can actually do more with some acting and storyline.

    Great action scenes for the budget

    Man can this guy Run!!! The fighting and action scenes are good. I can wonder what the would have done with a real budget.
