“This movie rocked. I would definitely recommend seeing it, especially on the big screen: the cinematography is incredible. The film manages to teach you something about the world, expose you to an underworld you (well, at least I) had no idea existed, bring up some important social issues, all while keeping you on the edge of your seat. Some highlights included stunts on trains, some crazy home-made guns, and amazing tattoos. The acting was also very good — especially considering several of the cast had no real acting experience. The audience I saw it with loved it — it got some great gasps and even some big laughs. And all by a first-time director. Well done.”
