  • Pacing: Great. Keeps you riveted.
  • Intro: You get into it, the father bit is pretty solid, but the daughter bit isn't so much.
  • Story: Very tense, and well made, with solid gritty action. A bit of suspense, a bit of intrigue.
  • Ending: In a way, it's sort of courageous, but at the same time it's easy.
  • Epilogue: Really bad. Didn't need this pathetic little tidying up.
  • Characters: Pretty simple for the most part, except for the father where you really feel some depth.
  • Acting: Not bad, but the only one that really works it is the father and to a lesser degree the daughter.
