Rarely has such a good film been made with such a small budget. Don't panic during the first 15 minutes where it seems like this is going to be just another mindless action "avenging secret agent" with a sci-fi twist movie. Over the next 90 minutes, the plot and characters rapidly evolve into something much more.

What makes this evolution and its intriguing ending work is a combination of excellent writing, very good actors and a skillful director -- all working with an obviously dedicated crew. No one is just phoning it in here.

The light sprinkling of special effects also works well within the context of the story. But don't get the idea that this movie is all cerebral... the concepts that come along are exciting -- and it's got plenty of action and moves right along without going over the top into the usual silly excesses.

I haven't enjoyed an independent film so much in a long time.
