“Oberst gives himself over completely and leaves you shattered”

Assassins (watch the trailer here)

October 24, 2011 review at Red Carpet Crash.com by Preston Barta

“Mike Bonomo creates a spine tingling short about two assassins who meet each other at the scene of a murder. Actor Bill Oberst Jr. gives himself over completely and leaves you shattered as the pro-assassin, Nathan.

Nathan decides to pass on some helpful wisdom to Walter, a pissed-scared assassin who knows little to none of what it takes to be successful in this line of work. Writer and director, Mike Bonomo is a gifted writer and director to watch. His script is paced very well, the editing is sharp, and the cinematography is brilliant.

‘ASSASSINS’ is currently making the rounds at film festivals.”

Pumping out a compressed little story in an abbreviated form with a beginning, middle and an end that’s coherent and intriguing… wait, that actually sounds kind of excruciating now that I think [...]
