Pubroom Paranoia

This was the last of several short films made by Human Traffic director Justin Kerrigan before he broke thorough into the mainstream in 1999. Quite typical of Kerrigan's work in that the subject of (you guessed it) paranoia is explored comedic-ally. A nice little piece which showed promise dealing with a game-show about who the most paranoid person was in a pub on a certain evening. Generally good acting, perhaps a bit forced at times but quite explosive and the cast give it their all. Technically fairly sound too, quite bold camera-work though a little rough round the edges at points. As Justin Kerrigan likes sometimes to do a bit of a Hitchcock (in that he has a penchant for playing small roles in many his own films) he also appeared in this one for a very brief little cameo. he's actually an extremely good comic actor as well as director.
