For a character such as The Joker, a character who's first appearance was him in his main clownish state, there is a whole lot of free real estate that can be made up for him and where he came from and what made him what he is. This film proves that.
Cyrus (Dylan Hobbs) is part of a gang owned by infamous crime lord; Oswald, and with his upbringing, He doesn't seem to be taking joy with his life and everything around him due to Oswald's demands. He gets the attention and support from a young woman named Harley, who with the support she gives, Cyrus starts to feel more alive and proud. Since then, events start to tear down his being and his new life as The Clown Prince of Crime begins.
Having a low budget for your project forces you to get creative, and it works to it's advantage. each character has quite an interesting take of their original comic counterparts, It has a sort of Breaking Bad feel to it, and with the origin alone, it could've easily been an upbringing for Heath Ledger's Joker.
overall, it's an entertaining experience that succeeds to impress it's viewers by showing what they could do with the right characters with the right material.
Rating: 8.8/10
