Good Intentions

By Blake Ridder with 6.6

thriller · Short Films · english

The first glance into the world of 'Good Intentions' might lead one to expect the humor and banter of a buddy film, and the initial moments might perhaps only serve to strengthen this expectation. However, the narrative has very different plans up its sleeve, as it soon progresses to reveal.

After breaking into a house, Charlie and David are in a rush to complete the task at hand and head out, and yet, something stops them in their tracks. When they stumble across an unlikely inhabitant, found under the most strange circumstances, they know they are now embroiled in a scenario beyond the point of no return. As events unfold, the plot covers an entire spectrum of emotional states - from humor, and moral dilemmas to stress, thrill and suspense.

All of them are eventually building to the final reveal, and when it finally arrives, it does indeed tie all the aspects of the plot together, but would it also carry forth an equally neat conclusion for the characters as well? The question is raised and answered, while the film condenses several falling pieces into a few minutes of high tension, attempting to engage the viewer throughout as it presents to them the misadventures of the duo.
