When I saw this film at the 2012 Boston Science Fiction Film Festival, it stood out from the crowd. Its a delightfully executed story of a guy stuck in traffic, having his own personal customer-service-from-Hell experience while on his cell phone. As the story progresses, his internal focus on his problems becomes increasingly humorous as the magnitude of events outside his car become evident.
The film begins without title or credits, which was an immense bonus for me since I did not know the title when I saw it. Given the final moments of the film -- which I will not reveal here -- putting the title at the end was a stroke of brilliance. I split a gut laughing: it was SO apropos.
Obviously, anyone reading this review DOES know the title of the film, but if by chance you are a festival organizer planning on showing this film, DO NOT reveal the title beforehand; it'll make the experience that much more fun. And for those of you who DO know the title but have yet to see the movie, don't worry: it'll still be a funny and entertaining ride.
Kudos to Brandon Brackenbury for a fine single-shot performance.
