Audience Member im pretty sure this was a straight to DVD film and not a bad straight to dvd but far from good...its best watched when nothing else is on tv, you might find its a little better. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member it's low budget alright: you can see that in the filming techniques (which make for some amusing fights when they're not supposed to be) & the soundtrack. all that said, the story is interesting enough though it is a bit slow. there's really no big dramatic ending, that i didn't appreciate too much. the guy who played the role of julian was awesome though Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The story was interesting enough, but this was so low budget, any violent scenes were tame and bland. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Low budget action thriller, the cast is fine, especially Nutsa Kukhianidze, but the film leaves you feeling empty and cold. Stark and gritty, unpleasant. The characters are just too jaded, I had a hard time staying interested. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
