This is not a bad movie. The acting is very good and the direction is solid. I get the impression from the DVD extras that the budget was cut during the making of this and it does show.
The fight scenes lack any real passion, and lack any real empathy with the main protagonists. I feel some of the main characters needed to be fleshed out somewhat more. As a viewer I felt that the director had a very strong feel for each character in his head but couldn't fully portray it in the final movie.
This sounds negative and I don't want to leave that impression. I would recommend this as a good film that has a interesting story and strong characterisation. I look forward to seeing what the people behind this produce in the future. I think the best is ahead.
