I would not go into this movie expecting the typical Hollywood blockbuster nor the typical low budget, local talent flop. It is a STRONG in between with some VERY decent acting at times, decent cinematography, and most of the time very good visual effects. Sound won't win any awards but considering the budget is not so distracting that you can't pay attention to the acting.
I liked the plot and continuity as it stepped outside the classical, stereotypical Hollywood good guys win all the time. There were some surprises that I did not expect which kept me watching. There are some scenes that should have been edited out, but don't let them bother you. They are few and far between. I would like to see a sequel following the characters and expanding the storyline to play out a scenario which embraces the political issues and brings all three sides (there are three, not two) together.
