Nice.

Warning: Spoilers
This is a tale of deception, drugs and death. It all begins with a drug dealer negotiating a deal with a mobster. However, unexpectedly, some shmoe accidentally finds the money and takes it home. His wife convinces them to take it and run--a decision that turns out in hindsight to be very bad indeed.

The story is well directed and acted. I also liked the music--very appropriate. In fact, there was little not to like except for one cliché that didn't quite fit. There's a scene where a man comes home and finds a killer in his house with a gun. Once he got the gun away from the killer, the man throws the gun aside and fights it out like a he-man! No sane person would do this, and if he really wanted information from the hood about why he was there or what happened to his wife, why didn't he just shoot him in the kneecaps?! In an otherwise immaculate plot, this macho moment just didn't fit. Still, if that's my biggest complaint, then this is still a pretty good little film.

Short, sweet.

A hand off gone awry, and not all that easy to predict, this is a quite enjoyable short with a twist.

The picture quality is good, and the audio is excellent, and compliments the rest of the material nicely.

Lighting is good and consistent throughout, and the camera work is good.

All in all, very professionally done. I look forward to seeing more from Josh Lee and First Night Productions.

The character development and plot is believable for, and there are no major plot holes.
