Whilst the general happenings of a few geriatric's in an old peoples home may sound a little mundane, 'Gin and dry' manages to break this convention using a lot of humour, a little more emotion and a jaw dropping twist.
Upon viewing the trailer for this movie, it appeared to be solely about some old people wanting some booze -- So they go ahead to plan/steal it, Oceans 11 style, which made it somewhat unattractive but may be worth a few laughs, but it's much more than that. Whilst the opening few minutes are pretty funny, the movie isn't really about the heist, it's about the character Ablie, our protagonist.
We learn so much about this character in such a short space of time it's really quite fascinating.
If there were to be any negatives about this production, it would be about the rest of the cast. They're all quirky and can be quite funny, but overall none of them really stand out. However, I believe this actually benefits the film, as it makes Ablies character shine even more which is just brilliant.
All in all a great short, one recommended to all.
9/10
