The Fixer

My partner and I are not the biggest fans of dark dramas, but this film left us wishing for more. We loved the the main character. The actor's eyes told so much about the story behind the scenes. This film had amazing camera angels, fanctastic sound editing, and wonderful use of lighting. I wish the film's pace was a little faster, but if made into a full lengh film, I don't think I would mind it as much. Defently worth the watch.

Iconic LA tropes draw you into the narrative: classic cars, the music of an ice cream truck, a hula girl on the dash. We are introduced to the Fixer. He is a not a simple gun for hire, but a complex character: a "tough guy" who is afraid for for his family. Will this fear that drives him to do unspeakable evils out of loyalty for his boss also be the emotion that redeems him? What is left unsaid is the most intriguing part of the narrative for this reviewer. The silent moments (back filled with a great score) speak volumes. Here credit goes to the crisp writing, acting, and directing, as small movements, even the subtle raise an the eyebrow are used to convey emotions that words cannot capture. There's so much more that is left unsaid - I hope to see more of this film in the near future!

Great first 15 minutes of what hopefully will become a full feature. We don't know who the fixer is going to have to kill, but somebody's gonna get it! Made me really hope that the "Best Menudo in LA" is going to show up at Trejo's Tacos someday soon!

The film with its dark element kept our attention throughout to the point when the film came to the final scene it left us wanting more!

That was easily the most rewarding 17 minutes of my day; wish it was longer. Nice L.A. vibe, shot well, really good performances.
