What a surprise!

What a surprise to see this entertaining Film Noir short at a recent screening in Manhattan. I did not expect The Big Gun to be so funny. That's due to the writing, directing, and acting. The film's lead detective (Jonnie Kildaire) is played by Jon Spano, who is also the film's writer and producer. That Kildaire is not always in control of things gives the story its juice. His co-star is the commanding Amanda Brooke Lerner, a captivating onscreen presence. There's a few good twists and turns to keep the fast-pace story moving: it's a classic "who killed my partner?" throughline like The Maltese Falcon. Still, you won't be bored and will want to know what happens next.
