I assume that the makers of this short film intended the film to be a proposal for a longer and more hashed out version of the same story. This is often true with independent shorts and I sure hope they eventually get the funding and have the inclination to do so. That's because the story idea is really interesting and I'd love to see it carried to full-length.
The film begins with a murder of a priest. The killer is dressed as another priest but gets stabbed in the process. As he's bleeding, a man enters the confession booth where's he's hiding and so he's forced to pretend to be a man of the cloth. To make things interesting, the guy coming to confession is himself a mobster and he has a lot to confess. However, he's really not interested in confession as he's hiding out in the booth. The dialog between the two is really interesting and I really wished the film could have progressed further to its logical conclusion.
Well made and a dandy plot--this film left me wanting to see more.
