Religion is a Drug

For this to have been made as a project in just four days is really a rather impressive feat, and the film certainly met all the expectations of a noir piece. I thought, for the brief screen time they were given, the actors gave interestingly nuanced performances, and I did enjoy the ending. That said, I thought that the same, long shot being used over and over got to be quite boring, though that's understandable since you were experimenting with tracking. I'd suggest not framing the action so closely, it became quite difficult to see exactly what was going on at times, though the claustrophobic feel produced as a result was interesting. There were also some problems with sound, I thought the music was too loud and I had some difficulty hearing the dialogue, but otherwise I thought it was a solid short and certainly well-crafted for the time allotted.

I always enjoy watching people come up with a new take on an old idea. Peddling religion like a drug. In fact Karl Marx called religion the opiate of the masses. Seeing it portrayed as a drug is a very unique and interesting take. It's unfortunate that you didn't have more time to make that clear.

The ending should've been reshot to not show the muzzle flash though

A great directing effort: Scenes were cut well and the setting added greatly to the mood of the plot and I thought this was avery interesting watch. Although the story itself did not interest me greatly, I liked the emotion that it brought that is seldom found in a student film, and in this case the setting, lighting, camera work, and acting all contributed equally to the story telling which kept me in the story.
