This is one of the best-made shorts I've seen. The cinematography, the lighting, the directing, the acting, all working together to make a solid piece of work. Some may argue the dialogue is a little too sparse, but less is more in my opinion, and Ash Taylor did a great job with it. The sound effects were very effective as well, placed in just the right spots to keep the action moving in the places where there was no dialogue. The quality of the lighting and the cinematography gave it a real vintage, early WWII feel. The use of candles for much of the actual lighting, added a lot to the flavor of being there. Ramsey Bell and Turner Crumbly also did very commendable jobs with the few lines they had. Their presence kept the action moving from start to finish. This short movie is definitely worth giving a view.

Final Exit
(1995 Video)
It was not bad
8 February 2006
We're all entitled to an opinion, and Danny Corrales made his. Whether we believe or not, the Christian view point is valid and, if it is true, we all need to give serious consideration to our eternal future.
The film was well made for such a low-budget piece. Most of the acting was quite solid. I especially enjoyed Larry Roop, the actor who portrayed Darryl, the convicted rapist. One thing that bothered me about the plot was trying to tie, or the lack of tying, the four main characters together. It was not entirely clear to me that although these are four different people, they were all headed toward a common crossroads. I also did not understand why the gunman (played by Steve Miller) was so set against Dr. Cap. Who was giving him orders?
That aside, the film was not a "turn it off before you finish" type. This is not a big budget film, but don't let that deter you from giving it an open-minded viewing.
