Short of the DayA high-octane short.
It just takes a momentary twist to make a good film great. Think about The Sixth Sense: until it’s final revelation that [Spoiler (?)] Bruce Willis has been dead the whole time, the most intriguing bit of that film was wondering how a mook like Willis got a doctorate in psychology.

Writer/director Abner Pastoll has debuted a high-octane short called Getaway Driver. The stylish film, shot over 10 hours in a mutli-storey car park in New Malden, South West of London, features vintage cars, one cool pug, and an ending you won’t expect.
"I’ve always love car chases,” said Abner Pastoll. “Some of my favourite movies, The Driver, Breakdown, To Live and Die in La, all have seriously epic chases. I wanted to capture something in that vein, a little old-school but unique and quirky.”
