Review at thoughts on films – 4th Aug. 08
“I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to watch this film for a while. A part of that is the willingness and the desire to support Malaysian-made films, especially the independent ones.”

Subway (Braunschweig) – Juni 2008 (German)

Cellesche Zeitung - 29.05.2008 (German)
“Mafia, Morde und Kredithaie – die Filme der Cellerin Juliane Block sind nichts für Zuschauer mit schwachen Nerven. Block dreht Thriller in Malaysia. Vor drei Jahren ist die Regisseurin ausgewandert.”
