MINI REVIEW
Billons thriller about a cop, a possible war criminal, a lawyer and a translator is bloody good entertainment, even if its not quite as subtle as his award-winning play Iceland. Still, director Weyni Mengesha stages the scenes carefully even the violence is effective and a superb cast headed by Tony Nappo as a salt-of-the-earth cop, bites into their parts lustily.
