Short Fuse is an intense ride, blending relentless action with gripping thriller elements. It’s about this courier caught up in a dangerous web, and the stakes couldn't be higher. The pacing keeps you on the edge—most of the film feels like a breathless race against time. The atmosphere has this gritty urban feel, enhanced by practical effects that add real weight to the explosions and chases. Kostas Skyftas manages to build tension effectively, maintaining a sense of urgency throughout. The performances are solid; the lead really carries the burden of fear and desperation, making the stakes feel personal. It’s a unique take on the action-thriller genre, especially with its focus on family ties intertwined with a criminal underworld.
