Recruited (2013)
8/10
A powerful short about family and the sacrifice they make to serve our country.
17 December 2013
A brother was recruited by the Marines and he is having a casual walk with his sister discussing the responsibility of his choice.

This brief piece containing a complete three act structure, powerful acting and great cinematography is a master piece of work by director Ruben Santiago. Sonny Bhatt does a superb job portraying the character of Neil coming to an age of maturity and responsibility. The chemistry between all the characters was spot on in this drama. The story was written perfectly with very little wasted dialog. The sound mix in this sort of piece is expected to be rough and mediocre but this particular piece was handled with care; proper music and good Foley made the scene very believable. This piece, although simple was made with as much care as a good studio quality movie. It will touch you and give you a new found respect for short film.
