The movie started off with a pretty thrilling intro scene, but that's all I can compliment. The actors in this film, while not the best, are decent actors, but even they couldn't save the movie with its awful writing.

The pacing was all over the place, with a heavy reliance on montages to make up for the lack of any background given to the characters. Which in turn, makes sympathizing with our protagonists hard to do.

The police in this movie were cardboard cutouts, only there to make the protagonist seem more smarter and the antagonist, sympathetic. The soundtrack often kicked up randomly in the background and was misplaced in certain scenes.

The action choreography was lacking, again most probably due to pacing, and didn't seem grounded in reality, with one scene having a policeman being knocked out with some kind of metal jug and not returning for several scenes, while the antagonist gets smacked across the face with a shovel but just falls to the ground.

At the end of it I felt disappointed. While I got hooked in by the promising start, the movie only got worse as its run-time went on. For a debut film for the director, its not the worst I've seen but that doesn't change my thoughts on its rating.
