Filming
British filming began on 21 July 2008 in Horsham followed by various locations in West Sussex and was completed on schedule on 2 September 2008. This was followed by Jordanian filming which was completed in late September 2008. Filming was done using digital cinematography using a 4k Thomson Viper camera recording onto HDCAM SR tape. The film then went into post production, and was released in the UK in September 2009.
Reception
The initial reception for the film was mixed. Press screenings shown in September 2009 produced mixed reviews. "Edgy political thriller – A film unafraid to confront the decisions made by the powers that be."[2] "The overall acting is poor, the characters are two dimensional leaving you with no empathy for the key players and the storyline is fragmented. One is left with the feeling that the budget should have been used on acting school for the players and training for the director rather than on helicopter and fancy car hire."[3]
