I first saw this short film at a screening at the 2005 Cannes film festival, I'd seen Jones' debut feature The Bond, and liked it, but this is a very different film. All set in one room, with a script written by Jones you expect some action some long winding tracking shots, but you get neither, instead you get fast, funny, political dialogue thrown at you, extreme close ups and POV shots. You really feel like you're there in the room, and while the content matter is thrown at you, there are always counter arguments in the dialogue which makes the film very political but never exploitive. A very brave piece of film-making, worth watching on where Jones decides to put the camera alone. Shots I've never ever seen before, and never thought possible.
