Characters

Chelios is little bit unstable hitman with rough childhood and problems to
control his anger. Perfect fighter and killing manchine so I don’t really
wonder that he managed to survive.

Camerawork/ soundeffects
Camera man really did know his job so I am satisfied with the camerawork.
Soundeffects did their job too just the way they should be doing. Musics
were good and also sound of dying people and explosions.

Special effects

Special effects were so good that I sometimes thought that I am in the
movie. It was really fabulous.
