When ex-con and hard-as-nails, Jake Green, finally gets a chance to see his daughter after six months, he takes her out for a quick bite only to wind up in the middle of an armored car heist.

The violent incident leaves a lasting impression on his daughter and influences her choice to pursue a dangerous and lucrative career later in life.

Stars Kevin Gage (Waingro from Michael Mann's "Heat")

Wow!! What a way to sell an idea!! Great work all around, really impressive, would love to see this expanded - wanted to see more!! I certainly hope that no 1968 firebird 400's were actually harmed in the making of this film - I have a soft spot for them, having some great youthful memories with them in my life. Kudos all around, looking forward to seeing much more of your work.

Cheers from Toronto, Canada.

Looks professionally done, but too violent (and blasphemous) for my taste.
TRM 4 months ago

Nicely done and Clever! This is not violent at all compare to John Woo's flicks like "Hard Boiled" and "the Killer". Keep up the good work guys.

As in the father's motivation? My guess would be the "Robin Hood" line sums up his motivation. I did wonder why he jumped out of the car with a gun instead of getting his daughter out of there but I guess it was his first instinct.
Mike Giarratano 4 months ago

I don't ususlly comment on videos outside of the group I'm in but I felt compelled to comment on this one. Awsome just doesn't cover it. Truelly great work. Hope hollywood picks up on this one. I'll definitly go for the whole story.

Excellent use of foreshadowing and tension building, although it was difficult to believe that the girl would have gone back for the bobble head when a man with a shot gun is chasing her down. This is a great short therefore I will suspend my disbelief.

I have a question，why the door of bank van had a marked logo “Hydraulx”。
Was the VFX work done by Hydraulx，or just a coincidence。
Thx advanced。Sorry for my poor English。

Cineguy 12 days ago

While feature films have many months of pre-production to fill tiny holes and gaps in the story line,(girl going back for bobble dog, etc.)

I have to say awesome job!!

Great shot selection, editing, really liked the J and L cuts that so many indie film makers forget to employ, and no overly long dissolves.
One of the best I've seen on Vimeo period.

Very nice. Get a better editor.
