Featured review
You see: I love Indie films. I don't need the Hollywood block busters. And I understand that without a proper budget a film will not look like one.
But bad actors, bad dialogs and a bad script in general will ruin any film.
Furthermore as the idea is interesting. Imagin them moving like you would behind enemy lines. Barely any talking. Ever present fear of being discovered. Moving only at night, etc.
Even with a smaller budget, some good advisors and good actors this could have been 70min of tension...
But this?
