Storyline
Featured review
Entertaining, but feels like they thought up the stunts first and the plot details later
A boy and a girl are looking for sponsorship to help them finance a robbery. They discus why they have chosen this life while their first job a bank robbery with a high speed roller-skate escape is told in flashback.
This is certainly a nice change of pace from most shorts I see which tend to be high on arty metaphor and low on action. This goes the other way high on action and low on anything resembling reason. The story is interesting enough in the telling the couple describe the frustration of spending their lives working just to pay the rent and eventually having holidays when they retire, while the job is told in black and white.
The action scenes are well handled the fantastic camera work really gives a great impression of speed and the two skaters are very talented. The gunplay is a little like an episode of the A-team in that no one gets hit, but it's still very enjoyable. It's a little like the 20 minute LA shootout in Heat except on skates!
Overall, it's an action short it has it's flaws but it should be enjoyed for what it is, a nice little action scene that does have the pressure of supporting a film.
