    Road kill

    What an absolute piece of garbage. Thank god I only had to endure 15 minutes of this writer/director's self-indulgent masturbation. Angst is not story, and this is not a filmmaker. No wonder I haven't heard more about this film even though it top-lines Josh Hartnett, otherwise a fine actor. Terrible...absolutely terrible. And since I don't want to waste another single minute over this hackneyed drivel, I'll leave it at that.

    I just didn't get it!

    I am sure the writer and director had good intentions. This short film is about a car ride in Los Angeles, California. There is a lot going on but unexplained. I didn't get the purpose of the film itself. Most short films are done by film students for their film projects. This film goes fast and makes little sense. I don't get the purpose of the story about young people in a car cruising the freeways in Los Angeles, California. Perhaps the film is about life in the fast lane one night. I watched this film on a DVD entitled "American Breakdown" with other short films about life in America. The film is about fifteen minutes and makes no sense to me when it is over.

    my mind was blown

    Not quite like anything I've ever seen before, Josh Harnett took me on this journey through anger and pain to somehow come out on the other side free.

    He plays a kid riddled with the fear and confusion which seems to surround us all at this time. His struggle is gut wrenching, and he does it with such truth and beauty. I too am glad that it's finally available to be seen.

    Truly A Masterpiece

    I can't imagine someone one this planet who couldn't relate, more so experience the gravity of what this picture displays.

    To me this is without doubt one of the best summaries of the raw emotion society trains us to ignore, handing out more gas to throw on the fire. I can't say I truly understand, or know the depths of the meaning. Even still for every time I've watched this, it's an understatement to say it's just motivating. Very impressive the amount of information Member guides you through and the vivid detail hitting the struggles and burning desires we have as humans on the mark. The sarcasm beautifully laced throughout this film is mind blowing and worth every minute to witness. An overall refreshing experience. For this being a short film the amount of time everything was encapsulated into Member I walk away feeling like I just got out of church :D ENJOY

    Pretentious Rubbish

    This "alleged" short goes on forever. It is pretentious and boring. I cannot possibly understand why anyone who has half a brain would sit through a second helping of this leering edsel.

    This is the kind of short film made by a man who loves himself too much.
