I was concerned when reading the reviews. Especially when I read the intro that it was about 'an elite team', which usually means you are going to watch a bunch of high school drama dropouts that never held a gun in their life. But, I gave this a shot and was glad I did.
The story was actually pretty good. Toss a few more dollars for special effects and you have a 'made for TV' movie. A little more than that and it goes from good to great, with nary a core cast change required ... because, to begin with, you have actors that actually know how to act in the roles they were given.
The script won't win any awards, but was solid (which for a low budget film is rare), clean and consistent with the story, and without a lot of extraneous baggage. The scenes and scenery were well thought out and implemented/directed. And another wow ... a director that knows that many scenes are going to be in the dark (e.g. At night), but you never felt you had to grab your cell phone's flashlight.
To the production cast/crew, keep it up!
