The Fixer

Excellent short! Started out by quickly captivating viewers. You're already asking yourself, "who is he?" "Why is he there?", and so on. As it progresses, you're still trying to piece together clues to the opening scene and you're left wanting more and wanting to understand the characters and their pain. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing!

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!

An extremely well-crafted modern-day noir film that leaves you wanting more. Overall production quality is excellent from sound to cinematography and a great use of Los Angeles locations. Authentic performances from all the actors, none more so than Tuesday the dog. Highly recommend.

Great story and use of Los Angeles scenery. I wish the movies pace was a bit faster but nonetheless a great story was told. Also Danny Trejo in an apron made it better

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.
