Being a local production I went in to see the film with some trepidation that it might turn out to be like most usual local TV soaps, but must admit the opening scene was quite impressive and so was the exalting music that gave me the same feeling I get when I see the opening of a good film. Okay maybe if they could afford a Gyro mount for the helicopter shot it would have turned out better but if they had money for this then it would not be a low budget movie.
The film has a good pace and every time it starts to slow down you are suddenly hit with an action scene to get you on your toes again. There were some shots that could have been shorter and some adverts that could have been a bit more discrete, but I suppose if it were not for these adverts there would not be a budget to shoot a film locally.
All in all I think it was a good effort and was of a level above what we normally see on the local media. The fight sequences, stunts and explosions gave it that touch that we are used to seeing in foreign action films (nothing out of this world) but for a Maltese production its more that what we are used to. I hope this movie will encourage other producers to make a step in the same direction.
