Short Fuse (2016)
A good effort
An enjoyable movie, certainly not an absolute masterpiece, but a solid action thriller. It plays nice with the cliches of the genre and with references to other, iconic films of its kind.
The script has a few plot holes, but this is not uncommon at all in the genre in general.
The dialogues in Greek do feel someone unnatural at times, as if the writer was thinking in american-english and writing in Greek, but I guess that this does not concern the international audience.
The acting is solid, especially by the lead actor. Miltos, one of the villains, is sublime.
The violence and the practical effects look great.
The setting of an action-thriller in Greece is what makes this film unique.
I certainly hope to see more of that genre in Greek cinema, as it certainly needs variety.
