I watched this film without quite knowing what to expect. I was delightfully surprised how, after the brief run time of 3 minutes, I immediately wanted to watch it again. Sure, the tips of the guns are red (obvious toys) and the acting is sub-par and hammy at best, but there is more energy and style packed into those 3 minutes than a lot of big budget blockbusters. The director's help the audience understand the geography of the locations by doing away with rapid cutting and extreme close-ups (*cough* Michael Bay) and the chase scene, limited though it is, is interesting enough and short enough to hold one's attention.
The only problem I had was the basic premise. SPOILER ALERT: A random guy kidnaps someone's girlfriend and demands $50,000?!? Why? This is never explained and, at the end, all I wanted to know was why this hero had upset the villain so much. END SPOILER.
It's the kind of film where you turn your brain off and simply enjoy.
