REVIEWS:

This film is a distilled burst of tactical action. It’s not here to philosophize, it’s here to throw punches and land every one. The choreography is the real star; each beat is clean, spatially aware, and narratively justified.

Federico Grün

The close-quarters combat was crisp, and they didn’t over-edit it. love when I can see the hits. This is what short-form action should look like.

Live Screenings Attendee

I love it when the underdogs turn out to be beasts. Those two bodyguards? Absolute units. The school setting made it feel like a video game level

Andrew Kanivchenko

Adelaide wasn’t just a damsel. She had steel in her voice and eyes. Even when others fought for her, you could feel her holding it together. It gave the action real heart.

Emily Johnson

That’s how you blend choreography with real space. Props to the performers - great reaction timing, believable force, and good use of momentum.

Natalia Gonzalez Ruiz

It delivers exactly what it promises: a stylish corridor brawl through collapsing walls and moral ambiguity. There’s not much depth here, but within its scope, it’s flawlessly executed.
