Though its brutally rapid editing and vivid pain-drenched images make this short film a gruelling experience, it is a brilliant piece of film making.
Director Regdosz and his scriptwriters manage to convey in just 15 minutes more narrative drive, more visceral action and more hints of political, religious and psychological complexity than most films eight times as long.
Set in London of the not-too-distant future, we follow - at breathless pace - the attempts of terminally ill ex-cop Dante to expose the lethal, cynical collaboration between big business (specifically the tobacco industry) and corrupt politicians. From a hide-out in a tiny hotel room to a shoot-out on an office block roof-top, the action never lets up for a second. The Big City is filmed in such a way as to transform present day London into a disturbingly alienated, subtly altered version of itself. Very eerie!
