Not as if I'm any kind of filum critic, but there I go starting on the defensive.

I'm not as keen on this as some of the above.


There was an obviousness as to how it was going to pan out, it was it seemed, hopefully, decently always going to be the dog not the infant that ended up being kidnapped/stolen. At least that's how it should be.

And that's how it was.

Of course, we had to get to 'know' the characters quickly enough.


But the end 'shot', with them and the dog in between them, just seemed like a job well done/executed as opposed to anything with an element of what was going to happen next. I had no idea what the 'male character' (and it did look like a 'character' as opposed to a person/bloke/man etc) was going to ask as an explanation about where the dog came from.

I hadn't known the two main characters for long. No I hadn't. I wasn't especially concerned about them.


The woman/family that had the dog stolen from them, uppermost in my thoughts.


Not to say I didn't like it at all, just not as enthusiastic as some.


Reservations, that's what I might have.

No spoiler (or more spoilers) here


I just wanted to say, a true star features in this 2 minute film.

The method acting sees them mould majestically into the urban reality which we are presented with.

The mood, the emotions, all conveyed by a simple glance and a mere rise of an eye brow, says so much.


We are left wondering many things, hoping for a world without such conflict and despair, or are we desiring it?

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
