This is one of those movies that spoil you for Hollywood fare, because this is almost as good, yet was made by a rookie on a low budget. Throw 10 or 50 million bucks into the mix and the result should be far better... but here, it wouldn't be. Sure, a few things could be improved on, but you don't miss them here because the storytelling, editing, and directing are so good.
The acting was B-grade in a lot of places, but that's OK. Most of the leads were solid and the movie was about what was happening more than it was about any individual, so the acting didn't feel like the point.
My one complaint is with the ending, which confused me. The whole movie was leading up to... something, but I'm not sure what it was. Maybe I'll watch it again sometime to try and figure it out. Despite its low budget, it is enjoyable viewing. Very impressive debut!
