Review:
The movie is well paced throughout. The beautiful cinematography is quite a treat to the eyes. You will feel as if you are watching a National Geo Wild documentary. The acting from all of the actors are commendable and is very believable, except for the Ah Bee and Benji dynamic. The director could throw in more confrontational situations and stretch their scenes a little bit more to make their relationship more believable.
Overall good story-line that emphasizes on the importance of family, tradition, respect and friendship. A movie for all.
