7cb1d79195 Two robbers take thirty people hostage in a bank. When the police break in, the robbers have disappeared and a man is dead. What really happened? This is perhaps the best of the short films and is one that keeps the audience guessing. It begins with a vicious bank robbery where the guard is gunned down in front of the customers and bank employees. As to the robbery, it's meticulously handled by thugs wearing masks and they seem to have rehearsed this caper repeatedly. However, when the police investigate, there appears to be far more to the story than meets the eye and perhaps the robbery was just a diversion for something else. The script for this film is terrific and offered some very nice twists. It's not just another robbery picture, that's for sure! Additionally, Elmi's direction is superb and keeps the picture taut and terrifying. Exceptional in every regard and I wouldn't be surprised to see this nominated for an Oscar for Best Short…it's that good.<br/><br/>By the way, this picture was made in Louisville, Kentucky and Milan, Italy…an unusual choice of locales, I must say.
