Broken (I) (2005)
4/10
Not a broken film, but not a good one either

"Broken" is an American short film from 2005, so not too new anymore and it was written and directed by Alex Ferrari. You could say that it is all about the action here and the other genres are just secondary, even if there are many of them. At times, the film did not look too bad luckily, but overall I would not say it was working, especially because you realize more than just a few times, way too frequently in such a short film, that the talent here certainly did not match the ambition. The final plot twist with the hospital reference was the best example. It could have been a nice smart twist if executed properly, but it just feels rushed in and for the sake of it. Ferrari's strength is probably more in the atmospheric field as there it was an okay watch overall. But that alone plus the stunning looks of the central character just isn't enough unfortunately. Watching this one once is okay, but not really necessary. I give this short film a humbs-down and suggest you skip it all in all. Lacks too much incoherency and the storytelling department.
