Great fun and great twist

Well acted, overall and I didn't expect the ending! Editing pace is clean and helps move the visual story nicely. Sound has a couple of minor issues but location shooting is always challenging, especially with short budget shoots like this. Characters are developed as well as can be done in 8 minutes but we are drawn into the situation, in a dark-justice way. I've seen a couple of these actors in other works and they really fit the characters here, well. Production qualities are better than often seen in low/no-budget shoots. I hope I can find other productions by this same producer/director in the future: he seems to have an eye for interesting story and visual frame. As a dramatic short, I really enjoyed this film.

Well crafted and great background

What I liked best about this short was the background music. In so many low-budget films the background music seems to take over the film, become more of a character than the actors on the screen but in this piece, each scene where background music is present, it really embellishes the action and is not noticed but helps with the mood of the scene. I like the twist ending and the set design, although obviously done on the cheap, it really held together, showing that production values can be upheld even with no budget to work with. A couple of small audio problems, but I've seen how difficult it can be to get really quality audio while on location shoots so its easy to forgive those. Good job and bring us more!

Nice Film

I liked this short film a lot. I would like to see it expanded to a bigger film and more of how it went down. When I watched it I liked what I saw for a short but I would like to see the whole plot of the story unravel from where the start and why he was chosen to end up in the predicament he ended up in maybe even show what the other characters did while he wasn't around did they talk to each other about what they did? Or maybe show how they put the plan together to make him the one that was chosen. Overall it was well film good camera work, the director did an outstanding job on location choices. The acting was very good and convincing. Good Job and to the crew and cast keep up the good work I look forward to seeing more from this group in the future.
