Really smart and entertaining movie. Great visuals and you feel the high pulse of Hayson all the way. Rent it and enjoy!

The movie has great camera angles and shots. It starts out very suspenseful. There are a few illogical scenes but I was pleasantly surprised that the movie had a decent plot and not so bad of an ending.
