What if a World War II super soldier was created not from a serum but from a Dead Space -esque,Isaac Clarke engineer suit? This is a really polished effort that minimizes what's often the two weakest elements of most small-budget, amateur films, the dialogue and the VFX. Instead, the project relies on the score and subtitles to tell the story of captain Joseph Colburn. It's a winner in my book and I hope there's a sequel to continue the story, perhaps the filmmakers will turn to kickstarter or indiegogo if they require additional funding.

SYNOPSIS:"1943. Thousands of feet above Northern Europe a small plane carries a skeleton crew of the Allies best, including special operative captain Joseph Colburn. His handler, major Thomas Hardy does a final review of the mission's grim intel: infiltrate a mysterious villa on the Polish border and uncover its secrets. Colburn emerges donning a prototype suit, which can temporarily render its user invisible. As the plane's bay doors howl open Colburn begins to put on the skull-faced helmet when the plane is rocked by an anti-aircraft shell. Rapidly losing air pressure and altitude, now there's no question... This is a one-way mission."
