Strengths of this opening sequence

- The opening sequence is very good. It is almost professional quality, it is very impressive.
- The film has a twisted opening sequence
- The voice over was a nice feature to add to the film, it gives it slightly more emphasis.
- The rapid change of shots is not very common but for this film it works very well, It just makes the opening sequence that bit longer.

Weaknesses of this opening sequence

- Although the music used is very good, especially the second one used (Chase & Status ft. Plan B), it is not their own music, so it is not original.
- As I have mentioned before, the film is twisted but that can also be a bad thing as some people will lose track and will perhaps be confused.
- The opening sequence mostly consists of seeing the names of the people involved. I would say that this takes up at least 3/4s of the running time.

Conclusion

However the drawbacks bear no weight in contrast to the strengths. Make no mistake about it. This film is quality, it is genuinely interesting, and if I didn't know better, I would suggest that a professional made this. All in all, a very good film.
