I\'m all about the more abstract style so I really dug that. I really like the first and second shots with the guy on the dock. Especially the first one, really good composition. Pacing was good, music was good. nice job.

Defninitely not film noir. I like the various angles you used. Im not sure I get the cards. Does he decide their fate with them? What was in the briefcase?! You followed the rules, but this turned out to be a drama instead. Camerawork was nicely done, though and the music was creepy.

That music was driving me CRAZY. Creepy but it gets kind of annoying.

Hmm I don\'t really know what else to say. So far your group has had this streak of movies that are about absolutly nothing, and the streak apparently continues. Not seinfeld nothing, just nothing-nothing.

Typically I think of film noir happening at night, so I think by shooting it during the day you lost a lot of the dramatic effect you could have had.

the music really set the tone to this simple, yet effective film

I\'m confused about the ending...

but all the other shots are great

This one was easy on the eyes. Shot with some light so I could see the short. That is a big plus over the other Fighters. The shots sparked my interest. Made me want to see more. What great idea, right? I\'m lost again. This Film Noir shit does get really confusing. The suitcase means nothing. It was just a way to get the women to that place to be killed. Then this guy has some card action. Did not get it. He kills her. Then some queen of spades action. The End.

Simple.



As always, your love Kevin Mosley

This entry is ours. I personally like the \"Jesus\" sign we found on the highway in southern Michigan. We thought it would be more interesting to never show what was in the suitcase-- so often its guns, drugs, etc. Why did the suitcase have to be the focal point? The man actually doesn\'t shoot the woman, he draws another card to see if she lives. It\'s left up to the viewer if the Queen card saved the woman\'s life. Hope everyone liked it.
