For such a short film (only 9 minutes) The Adept has quite the impact. This is a production that exudes quality right the way through from the acting to the writing. Also, a special nod of approval has to go to the visual FX, which are especially good for a film of this length. The film contains 2 actors that are on screen for almost the entire duration- Adam Greydon Reid (as Ben) and Jennifer Spence (as Maddy). Given the film is so short, they both do a great job convincing us that they are a couple. Discussions about work and chores like washing the dishes set the scene for what happens next... the magic. Ben takes to his new powers with aplomb, gradually growing more and more confident- and by the end of the 9 minutes he is able to do some pretty remarkable things! Like many a good short film, it ends on a cliff-hanger. I can guarantee that you will be begging to know what happens next. All we need know is a sequel! The Adept 2 anyone?
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
