A London gang fight takes an unexpected turn as Darryl (Jordan Bolger) prepares for the biggest battle of his crews life. War is a great portrayal of life in London, outside of the norm and unique in its lack of stereotype is an entertaining and interesting short.
War is written and directed by Nilesh Bell-Gorsia, an up and coming talent who is fantastically backed up by the skills of Jordan Bolger and utilises incredibly a silent, but presence filled guest appearance from Levi Roots. The production value is good and the intensity is high, yet by the very nature of short film War only has a short time to impress. Whilst War certainly surprises the viewer, it’s impact is short and doesn’t last much past the end of the 4 minutes. Despite a strong performance with Bolger, probably best known for his appearance in Peaky Blinders, and a special guest appearance from Levi Roots (which got this guy very, very, probably too, excited) War is fun and different, but only had the impact of an clever youtube video. You’ll watch it once, but there no real chance you’ll be asking for more. That’s not to say War is a bad short. It’s really great. It’s clever, different and interesting. It just unfortunately a one time impact film and unfortunately won’t be something I’ll remember for a long time.
Worth a single viewing for it’s clever twist, and a good start for a young director, but need a little more impact!
