10/10
Superb political short film
10 January 2014
Wow, fantastic, wasn't expecting that at all, so different from the film directors previous short films.

Checkpost is a tautly, smart and timely commercial short film blessed with credibility and intelligence. It has plenty of excitement exuberance, and a complicated plot to back up.

The performances in this film were essentially superb, especially the boy and father truck driver scenes in Pakistan. It has a fascinating tone that allows the viewer to be enriched with fantastic cinematography and lots of interesting international news bulletins. Checkpost also handles the theme of "Media portrayal" with plenty of maturity and respect.

The film also touches on the issue of "Drone Attacks and Terrorism" Checkpost is a well-done entertaining fast moving short film with great scenes and a multi layered story line. Aneel Ahmads direction is blended with fantastic technical skills. Well done Aneel and congratulations
