This short starts with a good idea, where a friend draws a gun on another friend because five years ago he agreed to a promise that he would kill him if he was still going nowhere with his life – and that was precisely five years ago right now. This kicks off some chatty banter which is very much in the "I know, right" American style and it is pretty amusing because it is done in this friendly way but is also essentially about the prospect of one of them murdering the other. The energy and natural tone of this makes it really fun but for me the problem was that, even at a lean 7 minutes (including titles), it ran out of steam before the end.
The joke doesn't really go anywhere though, so once you have chuckled at the banter a few times, there is nothing new to come really. The conclusion throws in something just to give the film a way of ending (since it wasn't really moving in any way) but this doesn't really work and it also has a very simple but very poor looking visual effect. It is a shame because Neill and Yaffe both give good performances and it is a shame that Molleur didn't give them a better script and story to work within. It looks good and is nicely shot with the simple set and focused cast, but it doesn't really go anywhere and it is a shame how quickly the one joke gets stale.
