Jack

An excellent Irish short film which makes one wonder why we fail to successfully make features in this genre (modern psychological drama/chiller) The narrative of this film unfolds in two different strands - which converge at two key points, the later of which is the climactic (and memorable) finale. the first strand follows a young couple Jack and Lyndsey, whose relationship may or may not be in decline, leaving a party after a long day boozing (for Jack at least)The films other protagonists are a pair of nameless robbers who, after robbing a house find themselves with a broken down getaway car. They wait in the bushes, and then, the two story lines converge. To give anymore away would be too much of a spoiler- check it up on you tube. Suffice it to say the finale is brilliantly edited by john Fitzpatrick,strikingly shot by graham Cantwel and altogether spellbinding in its bloody execution.
