8/10
A tense drama about the brief intersection of several lives
GeoDude14 January 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Paths cross at random, and several ordinary lives are interrupted by an abnormal event, a robbery at a gas-station mini-mart.

Tension, fear, panic, and racial stereotypes color the parallel observations made by a black man and a white woman, who each made incorrect assumptions and snap judgments, until a surveillance video-tape is revealed, which causes the observers to reassess.

A thought-provoking film, which brings stereotypical thinking patterns into question.

We tend to see things as we think they are -- our viewpoint and unconscious bias produces automatic characterizations and ungrounded assessments.

Things are not always what they may seem.

Voted 8/10 for a very worthwhile independent short film
