Review Time: this film is good

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, numbers and words on screen, cultural elements, background music, environmental, mental imagery, slow-motion effects, no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

Movement; this project moves quickly, it tells you the viewers a crumb of information on screen with the words once [place name] in the film and there is a lot of information out the end of the film, all I am saying here is dates would have been useful or dates and times [if they couldn't find specific times then okay lets go without obviously.] But dates would have been informative and given this film a better structure. I mean the only reasons that we know three months has past is because of the quickness of the scenes and it gets discussed in this scene with a small number of characters/performers.

Back stories/Storyline: they get discussed in the dialogue exchanges and mental imagery by a character/performer, then much later on by our lead character/role, thinking of the other character/performer's back story, the storyline itself is good and it is based on real-life events.

Artistic visions/Comedy level/Action sequences: there are these landscape models, a supporting character/performer is drawing this man with his head in a noose and there is this night outside scene where our main character/performer and supporting characters/performers are sitting inside this location, because this is where they work; but for here and now it's raining, thunder and lightning [once.]

Comedy; there are little bits and pieces of comedy such as when our lead role picking up two speeding tickets roughly in the same place on this bridge [one going to this meeting and the other coming back from it] and likewise there are little bits and pieces of action entirely surrounding these construction vehicles and things of this nature and this factory.

Character developments/Performances: on both counts they are good; good chemistry/friction, depending where you are is; depending what you get but either way still all good.

This film receives: 7/10, as I have already said this film is good.
