At a conceptual level this is a great film. Unfortunately, after an impressive start, the narrative is developed in a way that robs it of all tension and excitement. It looks good. It has a great metaphorical subtext, but it's not thrilling or even exciting.

aww ..how sad! I was hoping it would be as good as The Message from 2009 w/ Xun Zhou!

Indeed! If only there were more films like The Message. I went full of hope and it starts so well, but without any sense of the nature of the threat the Unit faces, there's nothing to maintain the tension and to show why there should be any panic or urgency.
