The Silent City (2006)

With the achievement of his last effort on Fifty Percent Grey, apparently director Ruairi Robinson thought his lack of fleshy faces meant he should put another short beneath his belt for good measure.

I will say I'm happy with his environments, and this is definitely a better shot at showing off his mad directing skills. However, the biggest flaw of Fifty Percent Grey was the lack of plot, and The Silent City shares that same problem. It introduces an interesting perception, without any justification. We're left wondering, is Robinson trying to make a feature-length film based on this? What happened to all of their comrades? And what the hell is that super fast thing that can generate enough momentum to knock a car out of its way?

Still, very well directed. Beggars can't be choosers, and directors can't always be writers.
