One & One is Twelve is a 14 minute short from aspiring filmmaker Ryan Ferlic. It follows a young couple of bank robbers (Matt Rozsak and Hannah Sprigg) that are laying low in a motel. In the meantime, they reminisce about a weird conversation the guy had with a shoeshine earlier that day.
I've seen my share of amateur and independent short films, but few of them are as inept as this one. Ferlic seems to take doses of True Romance and Pulp Fiction, with sprinkles of the Coen Brothers, put them all in a blender, and film what comes out of it, however it comes out.
But well, this is the kind of thing you watch when you set up a goal and find yourself running against the clock. Ferlic's direction is frenetic and dizzying, most of the performances are cringe-inducing and just plain bad, the dialogue is horrendous, and the whole story makes no sense at all.
If anybody feels so inclined, you can look for it on Google or Vimeo. But be warned, it is rough.
Grade:
