About This Movie

So, 'How To Be Deadly' is a short flick that really captures the essence of St. John's, Newfoundland, which is a character in itself. Donnie Dumphy is this wonderfully quirky underdog whose life just takes a nosedive right before a big dirt bike competition. The pacing is a bit fast, but it works well with the offbeat humor and the wild characters he encounters. Practical effects are minimal but have a certain charm—like the film isn't taking itself too seriously. The performances?
