Featured reviews
Exit Strategy is a wholly original take on time travel, taking a traditional science fiction trope and embedding it with equal parts humor and heart. Very well done.
Exit Strategy is a short based in the old idea of the time loop ("Groundhog Day" is even mentioned). However, this little film is very well directed, with an excellent script, good performance from the two main actors and an unexpected ending. Recommended!
The movie wasn't very long ,but the story was so good it didn't need anymore time. The characters were very well developed and the story had twists and turns. Overall it was a very good movie!
The science-fiction idea of a time loop has been widely explored, from the classic "Groundhog Day" to more serious flicks. Often, this type of film is, inevitably, repetitive. This short movie, on the other hand, manages to convey the repetition with well-written narration and adequate use of flashbacks.
The story is compelling and goes beyond your typical sci-fi thriller. The screenplay is clever and manages to juggle the main story, human aspects and a bit of humour. The characters are pretty well-described, so the audience can be entertained both by the series of the events and by the relationship between the two brothers. Acting and editing are, on the whole, solid.

We've seen many, many different takes on the time-loop story, but this short spares us the endless repetitions and changes the ending you may have come to expect. Simply wonderful performances, transparent editing, and clever all around. Hope to see something in the theatre from this writer/director one day.
