The subtitles were but pidgin English and flashed across the screen faster than a politician changes camps, but no matter, this was still a thrill ride. The acting was solid, and the direction more than competent. While the camera work showed promise, the editing was a little chunky. Again, no matter as this one will entertain despite its flaws.
