Filmed in HD Digital Video (although you can't tell), this taut thriller delivers several twists before the final gripping finale (spoilers not included).
I thoroughly enjoy Mr. Awad's portrayal of the underbelly of American life, as he has so deftly done before in "The Killing Kind". Jessica Drizd is perfect as the sultry and licentious Nancy and Buzz Mauro is truly riveting as the pathetic and loathing Mike (the archetypical Willy Loman character). Mike filled with fear and self hate and Nancy engulfed by greed and suspicion put out enough raw chemistry to set ablaze their hotel room in an emotional inferno.
My only complaint is that this drama is so fleeting and ends too quickly. The characters are so well fleshed out in the 20 minutes on screen that this film could have easily been made into a short feature.
