I think this movie works pretty damn well for something shot in 13 days on 16mm film for $8000.
It's raw and gritty, and fairly rough around the edges, but the plot is well-conceived, there's some fairly witty dialogue, and it rattles along at a fair old pace. For all its technical imperfections, it all comes together quite nicely.
The only thing that bugged me was the scene with the two leading guys in the very red bar bathed in blue light coming up with their plan to upstage the criminals - the dialogue here was so reminiscent of David Mamet (especially Glengarry Glen Ross) it felt like a direct rip off.
Other than that, this was a pleasant surprise on the whole, not 100% original, nor a masterpiece, it still makes for a pretty entertaining piece of filmmaking.
