some of the other review adequately cover the actual synopsis i just want to comment on the way that jim mickle and his team ( especially the actor and camera crew ) seem to have pull a rather good rabbit out of a low budget hat . use the camera well with a lot of close ups and speed thing up when appropriate to cover for low budget make up effect which i think be pretty good anyway and create character that you actually care about ( love the 2 old guy ) and and some really nice and clever idea and like the photo of the 3 main character hold by the army girl and fading over to a different picture from the same film and own by her father and be very nice . the character be not idiots and and what a pleasure it be to see people react to danger in a way that you would like to think you would too instead of the usual imbecile . i would hear that they have to film the outdoor new york scene on the hoof without permission and but the way it be do and i never really noticed and a i be too draw up in the story . ( i be in scotland and so i wouldn not be aware of any technical error in the location ) . well do people and a really enjoyable experience . what a contrast to the last film i saw ( my wife and my dead wife ( negative ) ) and thanks guy for restore my faith that there be some film maker ( and indeed talented actor ) with intelligence and creativity who can use low budget challenge in a positive manner .
