Thank you, for your comments, This is the first of my films that I actually thought about going back in and re-shooting the ending, as I was not to sure about it myself. I showed it to an audience of about 180 people at an event I was holding and Early closure was the premiere. I thought they would hate the ending as it's almost a slap in the face for the viewer, but it was the complete opposite, they loved it. They were not filmmakers or friends, just people who turned up to watch a night of short films made by a friend and myself. So I thought "what the hell, Keep it". But I do know where you are coming from Extremesporter. I think if I hadn't made it and I just watched it on this site, I would have said the same. I still might do a new ending – any ideas would be welcome. This film, for me, was more about showing that I could build suspense to a conclusion and it didn't really matter what the conclusion was. So I thought I would do an ending that no one could guess and have a little bit of a laugh at the same time.

Excellent lighting techniques used to create the different moods in the street. I know it can be difficult to shoot at night like that. Backlighting would have helped in some shots where he ran off screen. All it takes is a light shining on the background here and there to give your character a silouette appearance. I take it you wanted the movie to end quickly or got tired of production on it? It seemed so well developed up the the point of the last few seconds of the movie. I know it was supposed to be a funny twist, but all the development and time spent on it up to that point really made for a medicore ending in my view.

i really liked this one..its one of the more proffesionally made movies here...the pacing of the movie was really good but in some parts it could of been a little quicker..but its still great...the acting was nice and a pretty good story also...one of the better movies on this site...im so used to watching young kids running around with lightsabers and fake-looking explosions in other movies, its nice to see something good
