Taut film that packs a punch!.!

I saw this film recently at a screening in Sydney and had heard some really good things about it through it's win at a local film festival and was blown away by its searing tension every step of the way.

There's an underlying sense of dread that lurks beneath the sleazy yet cool banter between the three leads (who are equally as magnetic) that delivers a fantastic pay off that one would never see coming.

Despite the cramped location (which actually lends a hand to it's immediacy) and short time frame these fellas (and extremely hot waitress) pull off the tautest Aussie short film I've seen in recent times.

Great acting, water-tight direction, snappy editing and dialogue that makes me feel as though I'm doing beers with my own crew... Sweet stuff...

All in all, a must see for lovers of Cinema.
