Unsuccessful attempt to mimic Aronofsky. Has used a second handed material and , without having a clear idea about the image, trying to show.

This film has something exotic about it. Tells the story about an Iranian child soldier who, has an adult, lives in the US but is stuck with some fellow country-man of him that are ruling a kind of Persian crime syndicate. Not quit the live that the main character wants for himself but he has no choice. The exotic and particular element of this film is the Persian sub culture we see some glimpses of. This, and also some visual hypnotic images, gives this film something special, that overcomes the rather generic story.

You know when you start seeing a movie and you have no clue what to expect? If it turns out to be surprisingly good, i always have a feeling kinda like finding a little treasure. Well, i can say i definitely had that feeling after this film. The feeling of not knowing what to expect stayed with me in the first few scenes. But then gradually the pace picks up and the film sucks you in completely. 'True Romance' mixed with 'Eastern Promises' sort of. Just watch this film you won't regret it. Salut.
