I caught Firefly at the Bend film festival and it simply blew me away. It was easily the best film at the festival and one of the better movies I've seen in a long time. The movie focuses on 3 strangers who all have hazy memories of an occurrence on Halloween night. Two wake up the next morning in bizarre circumstances, not knowing how they got there. The other had been assaulted by 3 masked thugs and was being rushed to the hospital. The movie then jumps ahead to 5 days before Christmas and the secret of what happened starts to come clear to the 3 characters over a 5-day period. The plot moves quickly and the fact there there were a few story lines to follow wasn't a huge problem. They do a great job of building on the mystery and even adding some new dimensions and characters to it as the film races along. After several twists, some good laughs and a few thrills, the movie finishes perfectly.
