THIEVES(14minute short)
USA, 2011/2012
Director: J.G. Barnes
5/10
"Thieves", the debut-short from director J.G. Barnes, is an interesting and well-made, but ultimately pretty unsatisfying dialogue-heavy science-fiction story.
The plot is quite cool, the camera work is superb, the electronic soundtrack is awesome, the colorful credits look terrific and the lead performances from Sheldon Simmons & Kelly Kirstein are top notch.
Unfortunately, the whole movie drags and drags, there's absolutely no suspense or tension and IMO all the pseudo-futuristic settings look plain ugly.
Could have been way more entertaining with a better script, a better direction
and better-looking settings.
and better-looking settings.

ReplyDelete"Thieves" is an ok sci-fi short. No more, no less.
I actually liked it. I thought they did pretty good with only 14 minutes.The effects work was definitely top notch and the acting was great.
ReplyDeleteThe acting was terrific but I just didn't like the whole look of it.
