Great doc
This is a really great short documentary. The story unfolds as Juan and his lawyer try desperately to prove that he was at a dodgers game with his daughter and not off murdering a man. The show is well made and unfolds unexpectedly. A great watch and an amazing story.
Damn good movie!
All ya'll haters out there.. this is a good movie.
My 8 year old dog died today.. heart disease... a horrible 5 days leading up to a disastrous day of vet ER and ultimately death of my beloved friend Milla. She was the most amazing dog ever... regardless.. this movie has been able to tickle a smile and laugh out of me today.
So.. yeah.. watch it.
Cheers
LONG SHOT is spot on
Possibly the best short film I have seen in years. Exciting, suspenseful, quick paced, full of stars, villains, energy. Everything you would want from a thriller. I think everyone who has any interest in justice, criminal or otherwise would be satisfied by this 40 minute thrill ride.
Beth Silverman: Ironically a criminal locking up innocent people.
The system is so corrupt and filled with holes. And I really sat here praying and wishing so hard that that prosecutor Silverman one day will get hers, that she herself or one of her children will have to go through something like this. Just for her to know..to feel what it's like. She made me nauseous the way she looked the way she acted. A criminal ironically locking up innocent people. And there are probably millions of other people in the word like her. The system is flawed..in many, many ways. It made me so mad and most of all sad.
Excellent documentary, incredible and amazing
The adjectives "incredible" and "amazing" have been so over-used that they have lost most of their punch. But the events and their presentation in this short film revive them. It is a well written and well paced account that exposes apparently endemic deceit and chicanery in the LA legal system. At the same time, it provides an object lesson in the importance of smart, dedicated legal work and honest, clear-eyed judicial temperament and practice.
The low scores--even attached to some positive reviews--and the cursory.dismissals are difficult to understand or credit. The film tells a mind-blowing story and tells it powerfully.

Did you know
- TriviaThe title of this documentary, "Long Shot," has a double meaning. Crowd footage at a baseball game is likely to be filmed from a distance - the definition of a "long shot" in camerawork parlance. And there was only a very small chance that Catalan's lawyers would be able to find any footage exonerating him - so their defense strategy was figuratively a "long shot."
- Quotes
Larry David: Maybe, I don't know, every few years, somebody will bring it up or something and I'll tell the story. Maybe I'll tell it at a party, how I got a guy off of a murder. You know. Um. Impress a date with it, I don't know.
