Pretty clear from the start they didn't have a whole lot of money with this, but as long as you're not expecting a $100 Million movie like John Wick it's an enjoyable watch.
Unlike a lot of low budget movies it doesn't stay in one place, it moves around the city which is cool to see. Nothing worse than a movie that stays in one room all the time, especially when it's obvious it's a set that isn't believable. I've seen too many movies like that and they're just boring.
The story is interesting and the actors are mostly good, apart from a few of the local actors who are in it for about a minute each.

Decent Low Budget Action
Not bad
Actually a really good action movie. I havent seen anything made by this director, but this movie was a nice surprise. The storyline works just fine, and the actors are well casted. If something is missing, i would say it could be the coloring of the movie. The editor really didnt put any work on it, sadly, and i think it play a huge role on why people seem to think it was filmed with a phone, and not with a camera. Perhaps for the next movies, they will put more work on this. Otherwise, Costas Mandylor really fits the role and seems that he simply just gets better and better with age. As well as his brother.
Exciting ... not
No pun intended - but if you have a title like that, you could be excused if you judge the movie by that. And point out it fails quite badly to achieve with any kind of Adrenaline boost .. or whatever you would call it. On the other hand, this has quite the stellar cast. And even when I see the actors struggling with the script (story), it is nice to see them.
Not sure how many movies Luis and Costas Mandylor have made together but I don't think they have done a lot. It is not just them (I remember an episode of Charmed where they were together), there are other actors who have to fight ... oh wait another pun. Anyway, the action is quite decent, the dialog has some highlights, but it also gets weird (in a bad sense) ... and cringe ... probably not worth your time.
