This is really a very good movie when you consider it was shot in 12 days with non actors on a minuscule budget by a first time writer/director. The progressive development of individual characters is very good because it both defines their individuality and their relations with one another. The real story is well hidden by the more obvious exploits, and makes this feature strong at the end. The immersion of internal and external conflicts in the relations between characters is made even stronger by believable acting jobs. The blending of role playing fantasy and reality is effectively used to add to the story. The subtle statement of self identity makes this worth seeing even though it certainly has it's weaknesses.
