You've gotta see this one....

This is perhaps the best of the short films and is one that keeps the audience guessing. It begins with a vicious bank robbery where the guard is gunned down in front of the customers and bank employees. As to the robbery, it's meticulously handled by thugs wearing masks and they seem to have rehearsed this caper repeatedly. However, when the police investigate, there appears to be far more to the story than meets the eye and perhaps the robbery was just a diversion for something else. The script for this film is terrific and offered some very nice twists. It's not just another robbery picture, that's for sure! Additionally, Elmi's direction is superb and keeps the picture taut and terrifying. Exceptional in every regard and I wouldn't be surprised to see this nominated for an Oscar for Best Short...it's that good.

By the way, this picture was made in Louisville, Kentucky and Milan, Italy...an unusual choice of locales, I must say.

Wissenswertes
Roman Citizen started as a short film. After the shoot was finished, a 40 minute version was edited and released in the festival circuit. During this time, the film was picked up by Italian distributor Recalcati Multimedia. To better sell the film, it was decided it should become a TV film and a pilot for a series. One year after completion of principal photography, writer/director Luca Elmi got together with producers Curry and Ingram and actors Laurel Casillo, Abi Van Andel and Lauren Argo. Actor Michael Legg was hired and a new chapter was added at the end of the original film. The new film, with a running time of 52 minutes was then put on the market with the title Roman Citizen - the TV Pilot.
