quite a thrilling short, 29 August 2003
10/10
Author: tooty_fruity from bedford, england

although the music behind the story gave it an annoying feel the moral of the story was put across really well and it kept me entertained! the directing was nicely done and the story well written for on screen. credits to Dom and Sean for putting together such a great little piece!
