Storyline

On a gritty city sidewalk, a short man flanked by two large men runs a three-card monte game. He cheats to defeat a woman who runs off in despair. Enter, across the street, a silent man, well dressed in suit, tie, and fedora. He sees the three across the street and recalls a day during his childhood when the same three humiliated him, throwing dodge balls at him and laughing as he lay supine. The man in the fedora kicks over a store display of dodge balls, sending them rolling in all directions. He's set to take his revenge, years later. Soon, it's mano a mano. On this street of pain, will silent, determined justice triumph over the sneering cheater?

Crazy Credits

T-$ and J-Dog did not base these characters or situations on any real people or situations, living, dead or otherwise. If you know some real people who behave like this, that's messed up. They need help. What the hell kind of friend are you, letting them do crap like this and not saying anything? Adults shouldn't be playing dodgeball. We would, however, like to learn how to run up the side of a bus. Can your friends teach us how to do that? That would be a stone groove. Dig it. Woof woof. Ka-ching.

User Reviews

This gets better mid-way through the film

This film is told without words and is a truly strange movie. Steve Carell, dressed a lot like Dick Tracy, is walking down the street and comes upon a group of three thugs who begin throwing dodge balls at him--reminding him of a childhood dodge ball trauma! However, the very straight-laced Carell shows that he's learned a lot over the years and is amazing with his skills--quickly knocking two of the thugs out--sending them running. However, with the final thug, the film begins to look like a John Woo film--with Matrix or Jet Li-like moves that are fun to watch. A good film with some interesting scenes, but probably not worth the entire 10 minutes--the story did seem a bit overly long considering how minuscule the plot was. Still, it's worth a look.
