Surprinsingly good. Caught me off guard.


I didn't expect much at all. And my ADD self started to change the channel a couple times in the beginning but I'm glad I didn't. it played out very well. Nicolai did very well, carried everything nicely, and he is one of my favorite actors of all time anyway after GOT so....

but yeah I was surprised how well done this was. From the writing to the camera work, casting acting and even the editing and especially the music. That moody dark-techno score was perfect for this story.

Plus there's a lot of deep thematic stuff in this one too. Very thought provoking. It vaguely reminded me of Blood In Blood Out with Edward James Olmos (in theme only, I mean)

Highly recommend. I think it deserves its 7.0 rating.


Cheers,
