WOW.
This film looks like a simply produced love story, but its actually a thriller with some genuinely surprising twists. I was ready to give this film a 7/10 until the last ten minutes. An incredible ending with 2 or 3 unpredictable surprises bumps this film up to an 8.
Politics aside, this is the type of plot that would been seen in a 1940s film noir or gangster movie.
