I like the idea behind this thriller opening, it's got a typical story line for a thriller and uses many codes and conventions of thriller. The opening scene gives the audience enough information to start guessing at the story line but not too much information so there is still an enigmatic feel to it. I also like the music playing through out the opening, and how it stops at certain points when the shot changes quickly. The music really builds tension and suspense in the film, because it gives the audience the feel that something is wrong.

However I personally think the filming and editing isn't that good. I don't like the black and white effect they used in the opening scene and I think it looks very amateur. They don't use many interesting camera movements or angles and seem to stick to basic camera angles, like close and mid shots.
