Here Be Dragons

A war crimes investigator for the UN takes on a special case that sees him return to Serbia. This taut mystery thriller is a debut feature for Australian director Alastair Newton Brown. I went into the film unawares of his credits and was blown away. Nathan Sapsford was brilliant in the lead role of David Locke. The whole cast was exceptional. Every character left an impression and added to the authenticity of the film. The cinematography was another standout. Character exchanges and their interaction with the Serbian setting was immersive. There were only a few moments at the end of the film when I had to suspend my disbelief briefly. I highly recommend this film to anyone who likes mystery or thriller films, especially ones with historical basis. I had the pleasure of watching this on the big screen at the Vision Splendid Film Festival. Looking forward to seeing more from this director and all the cast and crew involved. Brilliant.
