At first, I thought it was the terrible acting by Patrig Bergin and Dan Petronijevic. But the fault goes to the combination of the two and an uninteresting script. Did we really need to hear the pre-flight check list that went on and on to the point where the female lead went "That's interesting, but are we going to take off?" The script seems to answer itself. Try not to pay attention to the terrible teen, who I had hoped was going be killed by a landmine when he raced off on the motorcycle. Instead, after hearing one sad story of a local boy his age mutters "how can I help?" Unfortunately for me and anyone else who watches this piece of trash, the teen doesn't blow his head off right there. The issues brought up by the film don't get the justice they deserve. This film is best left unseen.
