This Was a Mistake

About This Movie

This Was a Mistake is an intriguing blend of dark comedy and crime thriller. The pacing feels deliberately chaotic, mirroring the characters' spiraling situation. The premise is simple yet effective; a group of criminals screws up and ends up with two hostages who are just trying to get home. There's a gnarly mix of tension and humor as the characters navigate their increasingly absurd predicament. The performances are a bit uneven but add to the film's charm—like watching a live-action cartoon in places. The practical effects are refreshing, relying on real-world grit rather than CGI fluff, which gives it a raw edge. Overall, it captures that feeling of a heist gone ridiculously wrong, and you can't help but be drawn into its messy world.
