by Standard Deviants

On a routine callout, a rookie cop uncovers a serious crime.

I really enjoy the sheer innocence of your central character and their earnest desire to do the job to the best of their abilities. I saw the twist coming a mile off, but that did not detract from the enjoyment of watching it unfold. Great acting.

Simple gorgeous film. Every aspect from story - sound - acting - was pulled off perfectly.
A simple concept executed marvellously with some damn fine humour thrown in too boot.
The only crime would be not watching this film.

I think joannaodds above commented how the twist was seen from a mile away, but I thought that was intentional... we're supposed to see that it's fake from near the beginning, and the suspense is about when the main character figures that out.

So I thought it was a great concept. Reminded me of "Game Night", actually... one of my favourite modern comedies haha. There's a great setup when the audience knows that it's all a game but the protagonist doesn't... you get to have the audience experience dread and despair as the protagonist gets caught in the web of their own misunderstanding.

Great lead actor, great intro... I could see all the reactions on their face and it was quite lovely to zoom in and see all of those emotions play out. I'm not 100% sure what I could have expected more out of this, because it is a little bit of a hard concept to "wrap up", so to speak. The team did the best they could to get an ending out of it, but maybe it's just because the situation itself doesn't lend to an easy ending within a short film like this. Either way, it's an interesting and funny little comedic situation that was framed very competently and I liked it quite a bit :D
