THE MARK OF A MAN IS HOW HE ACTS UNDER PRESSURE.DOES HE KEEP HIS HEAD WHEN OTHERS ARE LOSING IT.CAN HE WAIT AND ENDURE
Three career crooks gather for a major heist; waiting in uneasy peace for their boss. Instead a young stranger arrives alleging to have been sent. Only one of the three believes him. Fears and old grievances drive wedges between them. Each man tested to breaking point as the pressure of their self imposed prison builds inexorably towards an emotionally explosive and group shattering climax.
“Taut and nail biting......tightly written with an atmosphere so claustrophobic you couldcut it with a knife.” ~ Birmingham Post
“Waiting for Godot, for the Pulp Fiction generation!” ~ Yorkshire Post
Shot on S16mm on a small budget, it is an uncompromising film set almost entirely in one location. A story told with moments of both unbearable tension & real humour memorable dialogue & well rounded, sympathetic characters with heart.
