Layers of Lies

Ramin Sohrab first landed on my radar when Screen Anarchy (branded Twitchfilm at the time) first broke a proof of concept he did titled "Malek". That right there, if nothing else, was proof that a star was in the making. LAYERS OF LIES is the result of a ten-year effort in that push to bring another name to the forefront of action movie fandom, and it's kind of surprising that a film like this would be met with any sort of dominantly negative criticism, let alone the exhausting hurdles and life-risking stakes to make an action film a reality.

Sohrab's debut, on both sides of the lens no less, deserves all the praise it can get. If you're a fan of modern action and regularly tout screen legends ranging from Jackie Chan and Jet Li to the likes of Johnny Yong Bosch and Marcus Shakesheff, then LAYERS OF LIES is undoubtedly worth the watch, and the fan chatter.
