Love and Hostages

Couldn't make it till the end saw 2/3 of it of them sitting in apartment mostly arguing. Boring.

A cute story of a man and a woman - both strangers - finding themselves trapped in the girls apartment after a one night stand due to a domestic problem next door that brings police swat team.

Throughout the plot we discover how this all came about and the ultimate effect the situation has on the one-nighters.

A sweet story with a few twist and turns to keep the story rolling.

I found this film to be never less than entertaining and in many was fascinating for simplicity of concept (why didn't I think of this) and professionalism of execution. It is the type of story that within the first few frames you understand the journey and this should be attributed to the director's "economy" of shots and not a predictable story. The tale of a couple that goes from a one night stand to captives, a sort of collateral damage situation from a nearby hostage crisis, it maneuvers quite deftly between comedy, drama and sometimes very effective pathos. Carl Rimi is a standout as the brother of the male "hostage," a sort of Greek Chorus if you will that finds the perfect note of the character and plays him to perfection. Randall Core as Michael does a fine job though I might have toned down some of his more excitable moments and Natalie Stavola shows incredible promise. Hopefully she has already graduated to bigger projects. I would say the same about Sheena Colette who was on screen entirely too short! She's a find. It's a fun picture that doesn't hide its indie credentials and doesn't pretend to it's something it is not. Are there tonal missteps, a few, do certain secondary players forget the secondary, sure. But there is nothing here for anyone to be embarrassed by and much to be proud of.

I really liked this movie. The premise was what brought me here, but the actors kept me here. Loved the lead male actor! The chemistry between them both was great. Good story carried out well. Enjoyed the music too. Definitely worth watching!

I just bought an Amazon Fire Stick and wanted to test it out and sort the settings. I selected the first film that came up for a two minute test and ended up watching the whole show.

Its an original story and all the relatively unknown actors (to me) were first rate. I really enjoyed it and have been surprised that, although the cast have in the main, worked a bit tat they are not better known. I've seen a lot worse films with big stars in them. A rare find. Recommended viewing.
