Bloodtraffick

I came looking for a demo reel for Grace Huang and found Bloodtraffick. Everything about this ingenuous short film is perfect except for the fight scenes. The music and the cinematography work perfectly together to set the tone and feel of the whole movie. The set design was very impressive. I guess short films in Hong Kong get bigger budgets than some features in the US. Grace Huang and her co-star Kirt Kishita played beautifully together. They could be best friends in real life but you never doubted for a second that they were mortal enemies and that someone was going to die. Unfortunately, and I hate to even mention this, but the fight scenes were just too slow, too stage-combat-like, to be believable. Everything about it was too choreographed. Nothing seemed at all spontaneous. Other than that it was a near perfect effort from all involved.
