Good start, the subject could use a longer treatment, 15 July 2006
6/10
Author: Mark R. Leeper from Old Bridge, NJ

One could do an entire feature film on this subject. The story is a police procedural with a police detective who is fighting (or perhaps not fighting) his depression. It is really more about his depression than it is about the police case. That does not leave a lot of time for the police story. It is mostly just there because who would be all that interested if it was just a story about a depressed punch press operator? Seven minutes is just too brief to develop either theme. This is a good start, particularly for a viewer who had a particular interest in the subject of depression. I could almost see this being expanded into a film like INSOMNIA, but there is too little to tell here.
