*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
The writer and director Scott Burkhardt delivers much in this film about the relationship between an assassin and his assistant. It is a relationship all of us have experienced at one point or another -- that of teacher and student -- and this twist gives a whole new angle on it. It really is pretty funny in spite of the fact that life and death are an issue here. The direction is of a pretty high quality and the production well done enough. The story is well- crafted: it is not until the final scene that the viewer realizes the enormous ground Burkhardt has covered. All of the actors perform their roles nicely, especially the two leads, Guy Boyd and Greg Keller. There are some truly heart-breaking moments that are surprising in such a very short film. It really made me laugh. The final scene is hilarious.
