About This Movie

.357 is a gritty short film that really leans into the crime and drama elements. The atmosphere is heavy, filled with tension that builds steadily throughout its runtime. You can feel the weight of each decision the characters make, reflecting a raw and sometimes brutal reality. The practical effects are quite striking for a short; they add an authenticity that enhances the violent moments without overdoing it. The pacing is interesting too, as it doesn't rush but rather allows the narrative to unfold in a way that feels both deliberate and unnerving. Performances are solid, capturing that desperate edge that the story revolves around. It’s definitely got a distinct flavor, one that sticks with you long after it’s over.
