LOADED DELIBERATION

A dark and brutal film. The story unfolds gradually, maintaining tension throughout. Despite the grim events, the ending leaves a sense of happiness and satisfaction. Thank you!

For a short, it punches above its weight. Cinematography, sound design, and pacing are top-notch. Still, I wish one character had been a little more grounded to act as an anchor amidst all the madness.

The tension, the betrayal, the ‘who’s-gonna-snap-next’ energy — chef’s kiss. Dallas was giving me major Joe Pesci in Casino vibes. Was that intentional? And the safe-code twist? Brutal!

The brawl in the warehouse felt legit — sloppy in a good way. No flashy kicks, just brute panic. That’s what sells it. Loved that they didn’t over-choreograph it — felt real dangerous, real fast.

The film does an excellent job of escalating without ever leaving the warehouse — that's not easy. My question is: did you storyboard all the chaos to the minute, or did you leave space for improvisation in scenes of conflict?

That hand-to-hand fight between Dallas and Utah? Rough, messy, real — like it actually hurt. I respect when fights don’t look too choreographed.

The structure is tight, almost theatrical, with escalating tension and power shifts that reminded me of noir plays. The visual tone complements the moral decay — no one’s innocent, not even the so-called 'quiet ones'.

Honestly, it was intense as hell, but by the end I was just tired of everyone yelling and betraying each other. It kinda wore me down. Cool vibe though — looked great.

I didn’t breathe for like ten minutes straight! Everyone’s yelling, shooting, turning on each other — it’s chaos! And that ending... damn. Did anyone even survive??

When Sasha was asked for the safe code... the fear in her eyes, the betrayal — that hit me hard. It felt way too real. How did you get that level of raw emotion from the actors?
