As an editor and a wanna be director, I enjoyed this tremendously, I highly recommend, as it rarely lagged and even though the language was a little difficult to parse, the surrounding action filled in the communication blanks nicely.
A surreal portrayal of a man, who lives off the world, in the finest tradition of Joseph Campbell's heroic myth. Chivalry on a primitive scale but none the less noble. In the tradition of Sun Tzu's Art of War, he sought no confrontation but when left without other options, he rose to overwhelm attacks made by opponents, that had vastly underestimated his prowess. Part Shaman, part Superman, all hero his opposition regrets chasing him, well, only the survivors, that is. And like Zorro or the Lone Ranger, it was a flourish, and a wave goodbye, as he leaves towards the horizon, as his charges sail off to safety. Karma takes care of some of the crooked politicians responsible for this mess, in the form of opposition firing squads. And BTW, photography was low budget but gorgeous, and actually gave certain cinema verite feel. I suppose was intended to give reality, to the metaphysical, but a happy accident or serendipitous, if not done on purpose.
