Here\'s my short review - I\'m awaiting a download link of your video to post my video review!

Audio isn\'t great - odd that you redubbed some of the lines and not others. Really hard to make out some stuff, even with headphones. I like your characters, I love the ending of the film, a lot of fun.

Good shot selection throughout but try being more careful when editing and while shooting to keep a nice flow from shot to shot. At times, you skip a position of the camera and it becomes jumpy. For example, don’t go from a long shot of a character to immediately going to a medium shot unless it’s vital to do it that way. In the scene with the doctor, you jump a lot with the shot selection as though you didn’t storyboard or have any idea how and what you would be shooting. The blood splatter was a nice effect in the beginning. Your lighting was impressive at times but you don’t keep continuity of it especially in the scene where the girl first confronts the detective. The acting isn’t all that great and it’s hard to stay invested in the characters even for the short amount of time that the movie runs. The sound quality wasn’t all that great and I’m very confused why you continued to have some dialogue that was supposed to be delivered by an on screen character, actually be edited in after shooting. Did you forget some lines while in production? I’m not much of a fan of zooming for any reason in a film. Leave camera zooms for the television shows. Instead, use tracking shots or steadicam, both types add tension or excitement to a scene too, only in better fashion (in my opinion anyways). I like the drunken detective aspect of your film, try using more close ups of him to get across his depressed, alcoholic nature rather then mostly medium shots – close ups can be used to show great emotion in a character.Eh, dissolves – stay away from them. Just cut between shots when staying in 1 scene – you use a dissolve when the girl brings the detective tea and this makes us assume time has gone by when really, not much has (as the characters are still in the same spot as prior). Instead, maybe cut to the girl saying sure, and then cutting back to the detective investigating and saying a simple line, and then cutting back to a medium shot of the girl bringing tea. This would work slightly better.

**also, for story critique...why would the girl (who ends up being the killer) go through all the trouble of going to a private investigator when the cops stopped poking around the case? Wouldn\'t she lay low and not go to another detective?

Whoops. Forgot the FF intro. I\'m reuploading.

Nice film. Just some audio issues, but not so much that it distracted me. Very porno music at the beginning. Lol. I love your actor for the doctor. He was making me laugh a lot.

Hey Bryan, great job. Nice effect in the beginning. Looked like the actors head was blown off but then you cut to a close up and he didn\'t really have any blood or scratches on him. I went back and saw a little blood on his bottom lip. The effect made it look like a more damaging gun shot. The blocking between the doctor and detective looks a little unnatural. I like the shot of the detective first walking in. He has a great facial expression, great choice on camera angle for that. Nice closing credits and quick ending. Nice muzzle flash.

Oh noez, MURDER! Whoa, whose the hottie?! Girl ain\'t bad, either. Ah, that joke never gets old. Cool costumes! Damn, this detective is a bad ass. Where do I buy this groovin soundtrack?

Awesome!!! This movie was really fun to watch! You hit all the expectations of film noir: Great soundtrack, the muse, the overworked detective, the darks (noir), and the twist. I liked the story. We all enjoyed watching it.

really good film. one of the best ones for sure. it was your classic detective film. the only problem i had was that when the guy got shot his brains splattered all over the wall and then you show the front of his face and he has not exit wound...........or even a cut for that matter! but that aside it was awesome.
