I want my Saturday night back.

Rating: 5/10 (5 July 2014)

I finally got round to seeing this, at the urging of my wife who recommended it. I had no preconceptions, thinking vaguely it was some sort of gangster movie - an early appearance by Benecio del Toro sort of confirmed this.
I won't give anything away, but I was so disappointed that this descended into farcical GTA-like violence ( without GTA's knowing sense of humour ). I couldn't care less about the characters, had no interest in whether they lived or died, the acting was uniformly average, and that it was only a short film was a surprise - it felt a lot longer.
As the film ended, my wife looked at me as if to say, betcha didn't see that coming ... um, that was supposed to be a surprise ending? I'm not the sharpest tool in the box, but surely it was blatantly obvious from very early on?
I've ticked the spoiler box simply because if you knew there was a twist, you'd look for it. I genuinely didn't know there was a twist, and in fact didn't even think it was supposed to be a twist ( storyteller turns out to have made up a story - Wowzer ) until they did a whole "reveal" thing with flashbacks - as surprising as Dale Winton coming out. Of course I hadn't seen exactly where he got the names from, we weren't shown that, but other than that, it was just bleedin' obvious.
