    I'm stuned...
    Visually and musically, this film is simply perfect.

    Is a combination of "Full Metal Jacket" and "Apocalypse Now" with added value. If you know these cinematic gems, whether you just respect them or even like them, you will surely be satisfied with this film.

    This piece of art offers social drama, action and mystery with a critical tone towards social inequality and the effects of war with believable and likeable characters. And all without any imposition from the film everything flows beautifully to the rhythm of the soundtrack to the end.

    Film did a great job with telling the story through the visuals. Even the post-credits reveal the story of the graphic design that the film offers from the start.

    Well done.
