Eager but highly disappointed Eyes were glued to the screen as I awaiting the beginning of this highly anticipated film about the conflict in Cyprus spanning three decades, intermingled with a story about of love and treachery. From the word go the film didn't know what it was meant to be and I as well as the two friends found it extremely difficult to identify with any of the key roles. The plot jumped from character to character and left us thinking "where did that came from". Direction was abysmal , Acting was poor with accents sounding so wrong and actors were not believable, one of the aspects that stood out was that the film was trying to be too big for its budget, you could quite clearly see where the budget had been cut, three cars for the whole one which had been blown up then used again in another scene, camera angles when shots had to take on a lot restricted so that key could make it look larger than it really is. Couple of good points I felt that the DOP was good, lighting seemed to be really nice, and costume believable
I left after watching the film disappointed not sure if that is my fault as I had such high expectations of this film
