An impressive technical achievement in many ways - low budget but with ambitious, a decent central idea, some nice photography and sound, plus Khan Chittenden doing good work in the lead. But it's really a short film: 10 minutes of story stretched out to feature length. The pilot has been shot down, he runs through the forest for over an hour. He ducks behind trees, runs into a Chinese guy and hangs out with him, flashes back. It gets on the nerves.
It's a shame there couldn't have been a twist somewhere along the line - people talking to each other, maybe a girl, a sequence where he has to get some food, something. There's not even a bit where he kills a Japanese.
