Here\'s my short review - I\'ll have a full video review coming soon. It\'ll be on the main page when it goes live.

Cute lead! I felt like the plot was confusing and really didn\'t like that you didn\'t do much work on the guns firing. No sound effects? No flashing white on the screen? There were some sequences that could have used a lot more coverage - made them confusing.

You were also over our time limit (4 minutes).

Like I said, full proper review from me on the front page soon!

The voice over sound quality is not very good in the beginning. Some of your pan shots were very bumpy, try loosening up the pins on your tripod the next time you shoot so that you have a nice, smooth pan and/or tilt shot. I wasn’t a fan of the rack focus shot when the lead character watched the dude run away. I think this would have been better if you had used a lens with a much greater depth of field, keeping everything in focus rather then changing focus midway through. Ha, not so sure I believe that girl could run after a dude and tackle him to the ground, she looks a bit too sweet to be a badass. The gunshot sound effect at the execution was pretty “meh” – maybe check online next time to find a more suitable sound effect. Also, would have been awesome if you got some digital blood in there or used a special effect in camera to create a blood spray from the guys head after he gets executed. We get very lost in these characters. What I mean by that is, what are their relationships? I’m not digging the story so much either, although it was interesting that you used the swine flu as a character motivator for the antagonist. The ending to me is too abrupt. This was a pretty ambitious project but it seems like you didn’t spend enough time with it. Maybe next time, try to get your ideas on paper quicker so that you have more time for production and post production. Also, try to write some more natural dialogue as the characters’ lines were very “line for line” rather then conversational. This could have been your actors too I guess.

They were very much non-actors. This was project for my Television Production class. The Film Program is new at my school so we are currently mixed in with the Broadcast Journalism department so... yeah, lol. I will leave reviews later. I need to go to bed now and also, several of the shots I used were for the sake of the project and not things I would have done myself. Anyway later :p

Haha, gotta love elements beyond your control... the kids playing in the park in the back ground of your kidnap scene. Okay, so this wasn\'t bad. My biggest biff is that it seems to have no post-production sound at all. No sound fx, no music except your opening. The basement scene (or whatever that room was) could\'ve definitely used some dread music to compliment your somewhat twisted ending. I do like the concept and you have a pretty tight shot selection.

Hottie! Very crappy gun effect or lack of gun effect. The chase from the park kinda came out of no where. I do like the dialogue when she is prisoner. Very eerie. Nice angle from her perspective almost. Both main actors are very natural. Great job!

WTF is up with the description of this movie? haha. Hot detective! When he said \"Stop\" I thought for sure he was going to say Hammertime, Collaborate and Listen, or In the Name of Love. I was wrong. Cool POV shot of her waking on the table, looking into the light. I faint whenever I see a gun, too.
