Not great cinematography, not a very original plot, but a real one, and reality hits hard and don't look pretty. I must admit that this film worked for me. I loved the moments of confusion and madness through out the film and the pace, shooting and storytelling unfolded effortlessly for such a kind of film ( real-time action ) I sat down to watch it with very few expectations and I liked the docu/film approach, considering it is based on the main character's real life events.

Although a not very original idea, it did touch some interesting topics. Cinematography and music / sound design has always been looked upon seriously by the director but the script was a bit vague, leaving holes and unexplored themes.

The movie was slow and I generally like slow movies but the acting was not as profound and this could have made a big difference in such a small production (all scenes must have been shot indoors and in limited time - common guys, let some beard grow, play real, play dirty, people can take it now-

As a said earlier the topic was not very original but the idea is genuinely interesting. I liked the intensity close to the end of the movie and the twist was ok and overall, the movie felt like something between a comedy and a thriller. Actually, everything that this movie attempted to communicate could have been best portrayed in a 25 minute Twilight Zone episode from the sixties, apart from the colors, visual effects and technical aspects of course, which are nice but did they help? No. The drama really turned into comedy and the suspense into horror. So overall, easyly digested. An ok film to pass the time.
