Ticky Tacky (2014)
6/10
Easy to like as a comedy

I am certainly a bit biased when it comes to this movie as Oscar Isaac has not only become a lot more famous recently ("Star Wars"), but he has made it to my favorite actors' list a while ago. The Guatemalan actor stars here in this 15-minute short film written and directed by Brian Petsos and it was made briefly before Isaac's appearance in "Show Me a Hero" that won him a Golden Globe. Anyway, back to this one: Isaac is really the only prominent cast member here. He takes revenge after his girlfriend/wife cheats on him with his own cousin. Real revenge. Still, I cannot take this film seriously from a dramatic perspective. The brutal kid basically embodies exactly what this film is about. Violent comedy and dark humour. A solid watch, even if you probably will not enjoy it as much as I did if you are not as much of an Isaac fan. Still a thumbs up from me.
