Review of Mug

Mug (2004)
10/10
A Very Powerful Short Film
17 August 2005
I Caught this short on the web and was blown away by it. not normally being a fan of "short films" i would actually describe it more like a short documentary film in the style of the Alan Clarke films of the 80's. the acting and the direction were spot on, almost like somebody had just captured all this going on for real. Apparently the writer/director made this short for less than £200?? I can't wait to see what he will do with more money.

It also put me in mind of the french crime films of the 70's (le Samurai etc)where very little dialogue is said but everything is conveyed in the eyes and the actions of the characters

So all in all highly recommended.
