I thought this was an interesting and powerful depiction of what could happen in such a situation from 3 different perspectives that then come together at the climax. Unlike some, I thought the dialogue and direction was very good and the cinematography pretty good for a low budget indie film.
Most of the cast gave convincing performances that had me drawn into their dilemmas with them. I was especially moved by Christopher Berry's scene with his senior officer after he had shot unarmed youth for stealing water. This actor deserves a lot more recognition and prominent roles than he has received thus far in his career.
I felt this film overall was an intriguing and thought provoking film with a fresh approach to a fairly regular theme. Personally, I think the film actually benefited from not having an 'A' list star who would be expected to swoop in and automatically save the day.
