I am not sure why a lot of people gave this film such a low score. Frankly, that really bothers me. The film is a low budget movie that covers everything that needs to be in a story; and it did that very well. The characters were very real and true to their identities. I sincerely believed in the characters' behavior. The story and plot was simple and straight to the point. The status quo was nailed perfectly. The themes that were explored in this film is seen in epic Hollywood films. One brother is considered good; the other brother is considered bad. The subtle journey that these characters take exposes some deep rooted skeletons that soon rocks the status quo of both of their inner-worlds. The theme of good and bad was explored throughout this entire film. And the theme of what seems to be good or bad was left up to the audience to decide. But really, another theme that came up, was sacrificing for the greater good... More importantly, the film exposes the truth of why one should not judge a book by its cover. And how family can win any race in life if they stick together. That's only covering a little bit about this film. A masterpiece.
