“Due to the low IMDB score, I almost didnu0026#39;t watch this. However, a free download plus pandemic desperation forced my hand, and Iu0026#39;m glad it did.nThe current u0026quot;storylineu0026quot; on the IMDB page doesnu0026#39;t really reflect what this movie is all about. Itu0026#39;s actually an action-comedy, but intelligent u0026amp; subtle comedy. OK, not a comedy at all, but a really funny drama. Or something. Hard to pigeonhole it. Anyway, itu0026#39;s basically a rollercoaster of a ride, with constant action, and intelligent script, tight editing, and excellent acting. (The entire cast is perfect.) Usually when an unknown director is also the main actor, the movie stinks, but Ryan Churchill is one of the rare exceptions. I think he has a huge future ahead of him.nu003culu003eu003cliu003eAnd I have no connection to this film, look at my other reviews. I was tempted to give it a u0026quot;10u0026quot; just to raise the absurdly-low average score, but u0026quot;*8u0026quot; is a fair u0026amp; accurate rating. Iu0026#39;m telling you, just give this flick a chance.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003e”
