If you compare this movie to your everyday Hollywood action reel, it might be classified as one "not that bad". If you on the other hand look at facts such as a (rumored) $20.000 budget, no professionals whatsoever, very limited equipment, and then also compare it to their previous "big production" Overkill (2004) you'll see that it is a giant leap and a lot of potential.
The story is actually a good one, even compared once again to your everyday Hollywood action. This script could easily be turned in to a profitable movie. It handles a lot of emotions and there are possibilities for character depth as well as action/thriller.
The director handles the story not to perfection, but well. He conveys emotions, leaves some room for dialog and character, while still letting action be the driving force. The story develops nicely all the way, although stumbling slightly in the end. There are skips in time but you still feel comfortable with when and where you are.
One thing that has to be mentioned on the positive side is the soundtrack. Created by Samir El Alaoui who also plays the lead character, it's the pulse of the movie all the way to the end. High class! To sum it up this a really good amateur movie and shows a lot of promise for what the future might hold for the guys and girls behind it!
