Well, I was in a film class taught by Jay Lowi. He decided he'd show us the 'crap film of the week', and popped this movie in. Well, as I was watching I began to think to myself "This isn't crappy.. I happen to enjoy this." Then the credits came up, and lo and behold, Jay Lowi was the director. I thoroughly enjoyed this short film. The acting was great, the camera work was nicely done, the story was well written, although I could have used a bit more detail. Also, there's a gun that fires 7 times instead of 6, and it's a 6 shooter... geez, fix the problems... I kid. Great movie.

It's a chewy delicious black comedy.

In this movie you have everything pertaining to the human condition. Humiliation, love, death, money, drugs, and a dog. The dog alone is worth seeing this flick for. It makes the worst day in your life seem like a vacation at the beach.
Excellent Short Film

I saw "12 Stops on the Road to Nowhere" at the Florida Film Festival recently and it was really good. It falls into the "cinema of cool" genre (which I'm frankly a bit tired of seeing) but I have to give it to them, "12 Stops" is quality. It's a well-paced guy/girl/car/gun/drug movie. The film has creative camera placement, a good usage of space, and is genuinely entertaining, albeit a tad misogynistic. The director, Jay Lowi, is obviously trying to get "12 Stops" made into a feature length film. Judging from the short it looks like he may have a good chance. Also, I must note that the cinematography was excellent!
Lock, Stock, & 2 Smoking Barrels + Trainspotting - Accents = 12 Stops on the Road to Nowhere.
9/10
