Chicago – Hardcore movie lovers know the joy of finding a clever comedy or taut thriller that they had never even heard of before they went to the video store. What’s more exciting? Having your preview-determined opinions confirmed or finding something totally off the beaten path? It may not be perfect, but Russ Pond’s consistently interesting “Fissure” could be the hidden gem you’re looking for this weekend.
DVD Rating: 3.5/5.0 Perhaps it’s because of my theatrical background, but I have a certain affinity for small-cast, one-set films like “Fissure”. Like a lot of indie movies, “Fissure” keeps it simple in both setting and cast with only a few speaking roles and generally one set.
Fissure was released on DVD on August 11th, 2009.

Meet Detective Paul Grunning, a screwed-up cop on a temporary-leave-of-absence thanks to a tragic incident and Internal Affairs. After one of those oh-so-fun, I.A. mandated grief meetings, Grunning gets a call from his boss to “checkout a disturbance” at a local residence. That’s the setup for Top Pup Media’s Fissure, a feature film-turned-web-series put out by director and producer Russ Pond. The web series premiered this week and stars James MacDonald who is known for his bit-parts in everything from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to CSI:Miami and Jericho.
