This is a spectacular piece of filmmaking, it flows effortlessly from start to end, the story building superbly with each subsequent piece elegantly dovetailing into the next. It leaves you with a view, albeit a cinematic one of a world of drug addiction, corruption and exploitation, especially of those with little to lose except their life. It is a more than excellent documentary movie about the fight between the Iranian police and the drug traffic kingpins. No action scenes, no gunfights but awesome acting and directing. We don’t think Hollywood film industry would have made such a film. Here, the drug traffic big shot is shown in such a way that the audiences may feel empathy for him, and not for the policeman who tracks him down and nail him. A very ruthless policeman, who applies the law to the letter, no matter the disgrace on families, no matter pain and suffering that this very same law application provokes. This movie portrays a typical life of many which is hidden from public views. It is not easy to make a movie like this in Iran in general.
