Review:
First, I have to thank fellow-blogger Johnny http://freddyinspace.blogspot.com/ for this excellent recommendation!

In fact, rather than a review, I am going to take Johnny's route and just say, simply: See this film!

This is one of those films where knowing nothing about it is for the best. [in fact, I am not even going to post the trailer, as there are some things in there that you are better off not knowing.
[I will say that this film is produced by Julio Fernandez if that tells you anything ~ I love Julio!]

While the films starts off a little slow, hang in there, as things quickly build up in intensity!
The acting, the plot/script, the scenery - everything about this movie is dead-on!

For those with Netflix, this movie is currently available to Watch Instantly [which is what I did]

Enjoy,

Jason
