The film takes place in a time and place where there is a shortage of clean drinking water. There is no shortage of water itself, because it rains all the time. Rainwater is just so polluted that you can't even drink it when it's boiled. This is the premise of the film. One problem is that nowhere is it explained why even rainwater is so toxic and why the source that poisons the air and thus the rainwater is not addressed. The fact that, after all, no one seems to be in short supply of clean enough water after the beginning of the film adds to the incredulity. This undermines the whole context of the film and its background story.
The film also suffers from a lack of credibility. For example, it would have been easy for the hitman to kill Frank at any point in the film, but for some reason this does not happen. The hitman knows where Frank lives, and Frank doesn't even seem to keep the door locked. He is allowed to continue his investigation in peace for an exceptionally long time. Gaby gets beaten up very badly in her last fight, but there is no bruise on her face after the fight. The film therefore had credibility problems in both small and big things.
The main challenge, however, was the rather boring and unsurprising plot. The whole thing is revealed quite quickly and then we are bored to watch the progression of a predictable and clichéd plot.
