  • ..beloved neighbor turns into a nightmare of others and shocks not only friends but it's own family by leaving them for a greater good: faith

    A wonderful written story how our beloved neighbor turns into a nightmare of others and shocks not only friends but it's own family by leaving them for a greater good: faith. Well navigated plot of an emigrant who became an US Citizen and accomplishes he's goal no matter what it cost even the cost of his wife and kids without being concern about, turns him into a terrorist. There's not only dynamic cast and crew in order to make this action film but the vision of the Director Luciano Saber who brings all his tricks and ideas using drones and difficult camera angles in order to make it an unforgettable experience. It's a film that is surrounded to so many stories close to us today. It looks like the Director Saber can be very versatile in a film genres today making him not only super creative but also that has a vision. Certainly we will see soon another of his great works in a theaters around.

  • Heart warming story of a family who lost friends, and neighbors of Malibu CA

    Heart warming story of a family who lost friends, and neighbors of Malibu CA and had to move to North Hollywood area that was not received well by the family members.

    On top of Kelly got the news to be pregnant in this difficult life moment and didn't know how and when to tell her mom about it.

    As many of us today are in similar situation, this film presents and portrait those challenges in a wonderful family oriented way with so many Christian values.

    There seems to be no other film like Edge of Salvation presenting how to overcome life's challenges and stick together in a difficult time. Not only loosing home because of financial crises, getting suddenly pregnant, moving to not a save area to continue in their future but also dealing with loosing a family member. Extraordinary executed writing by Luciano Saber. To see the harmony in the cast and fun playing those difficult characters it's very challenging for such young actors which was done with great professionalism. This land needs more films made by Luciano Saber the creator and writer behind this awesome work.

  • .... everyone has to see it!

    "Fatal Instinct" a police Action Thriller that keeps you bound to a seat until the end of the film .An action film that everyone has to see it! The film was shot in the city of Los Angeles that gives it the action flavor with many great locations It's a maze of potential suspects that keeps you guessing all the way through. The film very entertaining with great cast, amazing car and helicopter chases, investigation, love story and fun between the two main cops that sometimes keeps their friendship on the edge. Great written and directed by Luciano Saber. I hope we'll see soon another film made by this wonderful and creative director!
