A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This is just a 10 minute short made for the web, but the fact that Eliza Dushku stars here speaks to the way in which we now consume media. It would have been hard to imagine a decade ago that someone like Dushku would be willing to take a role in an internet-only venture such as The Gable 5.You can tell that the budget here isn't on par with Hollywood television, but that doesn't mean that the production and SFX aren't good. While you can certainly find fault with the CGI fire and gunshots, the production value here is polished and clean, and overall the presentation is solid throughout.Eliza Dushku has been a bad ass butt-kicker for much of her career, so this role is a perfect fit for her. She's great, as usual, and I hope we get to see more of The Gable 5, because the world can always use more Eliza Dushku!
