A plot just as I like, but expectedly low budget, mediocre execution, with some dumb dialog. DP seems to have just discovered drones, and is playing with them as a kid everywhere - not just during a car chase, but shooting like that arrival of every cop, with a drone flying quickly down and around them, and even inside the building, in corridors and an office. I've always thought footage from them looked cool, and here I got a triple dose of it.
Overall it's a satisfying story, just think the payoff should've been bigger, and wish it was made by better professionals, so it'd be like Swordfish. As is it's a DTV movie of the week.
Still more interesting than most pretentious 'art-house' films.
