I'm not sure if the writer and director are related, but this was each of the Huang's first filmmaking attempt as writers and director, and is clearly shows. The story was cliched and predictable, with a annoying sappy melodramatic score. The dialogue was cheesy, and my version of the English subtitles were worse than a fortune cookie's Chinese-to-English translation. There were plot holes galore, and most of the camera work was amateurish, but the sets, location and cinematography were decent. Even all the head-shot S/VFX were convincing, as were most of the action scenes. The slow-mo sniper shots and scope views were excellent and realistic. There were some technical issues, such as the few seconds require to re-chamber a round would've opened up return-fire tactical opportunities, but nevertheless, for an international film by amateur filmmakers, it was shot well. The 85 min runtime flew by with decent pacing. The acting was good for the most part. Thus it's a 6/10 from me.
