This short film is quite clever and it offers up a few surprises--setting it apart from the average short.
The film begins with a guy entering a motel lobby with a gun and taking the desk guy prisoner. Before he can make his getaway with the cash, a cop enters the place and indicates that he's alerting motels that there is a bandit targeting them. The robber pretends (rather poorly) to be the manager and again and again you assume the cop is going to catch on that he obviously knows nothing about the business. However, the cop appears to be an idiot and misses clue after clue that something is amiss. Do NOT assume this is due to poor writing--watch this film yourself and see what's REALLY happening.
Very well written and worth seeing.
