Best summary: I'm embarrassed I watched it to the end. But I did. I've literally seen better high school short films. Nearly every component from continuity, editing, cinematography, camera, acting , etc feels like the producer found inexperienced volunteers looking to build a resume. Some reviews give it more "marks" because it's a small budget. I don't know what the budget was but the demolition and car chase/destruction scenes were costly and excessive. Should have cut some of the unnecessary demolition scenes and used the budget for script review, editing etc. There's supposed to be a big reveal at the end, but most people beyond their preteens can figure out who the masked villain is. He's going to be the only core character that the story doesn't show his "day job." Oooh! What a surprise. Not. In a positive note, there's a fun and maybe unique scene/stunt with hand to hand combat within the cargo areas of two vehicles "racing" side by side. And, the director has found the fastest and best handling vintage VW bus in Asia, if not the world.
