If you're a fan of Reilly's writing style (and I am) then the way this film has been shot/written will be completely understandable to you.
The idea behind most of Reilly's work is that he writes a story as if it was a screenplay for a high-octane stunt heavy 80's action movie. This means its none stop, with virtually no time for self inspection or "drama", just one jaw dropping set-piece after another. This works well in a novel as your unlimited imagination is used to make the ridiculous stunts/sets/design etc all seem real whereas in cinema, with a very low budget, seeing so many very low quality sets, poor CGI and general low production values really hurts the enjoyment factor.
My understanding is that Reilly wants to make a Film Series based on his popular "Scarecrow" character and wanted to use this Interceptor film to show what he could do with a low budget and generally gain cinema experience before going to bigger studios with Scarecrow as a now experienced producer with at last 1 film behind him.
Sadly I think this may have been a backfire as the low budget has really hurt this film, as the stunts, CGI & production for something so visually based needs real cash money spending to avoid it looking, as someone else put it, like a film made by Asylum.
