BLACKLIST REVIEWS:
“Kudos! Hollywood is desperate for an action star that’s not a straight white male! Cast Michelle Ang, Celina Jade or any gun wielding Asian female newcomer who can kick ass in this amazing role. With an all Asian cast this series is sure to turn heads if executed properly. "
“Action packed with hard hitting chase scenes and violence that leaves your stomach churning, 25 is a thriller not to be messed with. Adept at action scenes, the writer uses strong visual cues that are unique and twisted, evoking a sense of strange engagement as the audience follows along as voyeurs of the hunted.”
“The writing is excellent - it's stylish, it's concise, and it moves at a very fast clip. The writer has done a fantastic job of making the action lines lyrical without adding too much flowery language that would otherwise bog down the script. It's great to see an action thriller centered on Asian American characters”
