    An interesting short....

    The film itself has it's problems. The side-plot with the two women is really hard to follow at first, but there are quite a few laughs and the rest of it is definitely worth staying around for 14 minutes.

    The real draw for this film is Cillian Murphy. Though he doesn't say one word in it, he still manages to do an incredible job with the material. His face is so expressive that he doesn't *need* to speak. Everyone should watch it at least once, if only to see that yes, this boy *can* act. It's rather a shame that some of the obsessed fangirls and fanboys have put all the focus on his pretty eyes.

    I recommend that everyone watch this at least once.
