Anticlimactic , what happened next would be the most interesting part

Uf...this was bad. As in BAD. First, none of these people seem like they have an acting experience. Sometimes you can compensate for this with good editing, but not in this case. Second, the storyline (if you can call it that) was extremely predictable, specifically because there were only 3 characters in the entire film (so, no "surprise" that it was the boss from the moment the interaction begins). Third, and most importantly, whoever wrote this has to ask themselves WHY. The film isn't saying anything at all; it's almost like the writer met someone he wanted to impress and said, "hey, want to be in a film?" and wrote this script especially for the lead. The script really should have been reviewed and "read" much more to give whoever wrote it feedback before this was even a project. The best thing I can say here was the "bed" music was great; literally the best part of this film. As is, it's like maybe an amateur calling card. MAYBE with a better editor you might be able to salvage it and make it into something. But you'd have to dub the "boss" and his voice over for anything to work. Just...sorry.

@saracosta1989, Honestly, you are being too kind. This is awful. As in AWFUL! Devoid of any social or entertainment value.
