Rich Riedel's promising directorial debut should please action fans and art-house connisseurs alike.
Riedel's primary experience is in editing, and it shows. The story is paced expertly to build up the maximum tension possible.
The acting is a bit uneven but there are some very strong performances here, notably from Eltony Williams.
The indie film world doesn't produce a whole lot of action films, so it's important to recognize the talents that do emerge so that they find success. An action film world populated solely by directors who came up through the studio system isn't what anyone needs. Riedel has a bright future.
