Comments

1. Nicki I didn't quite understand why the kid didn't mind that his father was killed right infront of him - surely he would have been upset?
2. Jim (2001-03-01) Very nice film.
3. luke  (2001-03-13) bit weird? didn't see much point really... but nicely filmed and executed, whatever the **** it was about...
4. Tim Reilly (2001-04-19) Could not figure out what the 'twist' was. Probably because there wasn't one. Nice shots, poor script.
5. Lyon (2001-06-21) Not bad. I saw the end coming a bit before it hapened but still the guilt of the father pushing himself out he window made a nice point. Opperation?
6. James DeMarco (2002-06-29) Although the acting and cinematography were decent, overall it was slow and somewhat pointless.
7. Jacko (2002-08-14) Good build up of tension, I was gripped at the end - great direction & editing. A bit depressing too, but that was the subject matter. Very well done.
8. foddy (2004-12-13) nice film, reminded me of lawrence of arabia in a strange sort of way, nice handles on the doors as well and i thought the carpet went well with the furnishings
9. Nicole Miller  (2003-03-24) bad lighting, a bit slow, some camera shots were quite good and a good performance by Neil Edmond
10. chris (2003-01-28) Good use of shots, poor lighting and script but strong performances
11. Ian Wannabee (2003-02-22) A bit bleak, and how come they were so concerned when the guy jumped - did they want a different outcome?
12. Tom Wolfenden (2003-04-29) First film I've seen on here and I liked it! Well Done!
13. Rob Marni (2007-10-26) I liked your approach, very good eye for detail. Well Done.
14. foddy savva (2004-02-06) some good work from the whole team, keep an eye out for future projects.
15. Martin Cosgrave  (2004-11-24) Very dark indeed, don't watch this is you're feeling down! But very good. Excellent acting, thoroughly nasty. Enough to give anyone vertigo.
