In this somewhat confusing action-adventure story aimed at a teen audience, a group of young men and women take on a gang who has kidnapped one of their friends. Their bravery and resourcefulness lead them on a journey into a world filled with the denizens of organized crime, and of cops with questionable ethics. Before they can even come close to success, they face violent confrontations and rapid-fire gun battles in a bewildering sequence of equally rapid-fire events. —Rovi

This is a nice and original film with some impressive long takes and other funny and/or unreal moments, but it suffers from a confusing script, or a weird editing (or both?) which makes the story sometimes difficult to grasp. Anyway I think it is worth watching and carries a good mood.
