The first directorial effort of "Full Monty" producer Uberto Pasolini is a mixed bag of goodies. The 'true' story about a fake Hand Ball team from Sri Lanka making their way illegally to Europe, should in most hands be a sure fire hit, but the film is hampered with a script that fails most of the time, to capture the 'comical' side to this "Great Escape" like caper. The acting is good by most of the principals, and some fantastic cameo roles played by veteran stage actors really light up the screen.
As first efforts go, Pasolini shows a passion for indie film making, and should be given another shot at a feature. Lensing and lighting by Stefano Falivene are adequate, but the music is a jumble of two composers, Stephen Warbeck and Lakshman Joseph De Saram, clearly not on the same page.
