Our Review
The Last King of America by Colin Mummery is dark and tense It explores themes of unchecked power, corruption, and betrayal. It captures a chilling scenario where the President's immunity allows him to act above the law, taking extreme measures to hold onto his power. Given the short format, it's crucial to maintain a balance between building tension and getting to the climax. Some scenes could be tightened or streamlined. Overall, this is a strong concept for a short film with the right mix of political intrigue, personal stakes, and suspense. If executed well, it could be a gripping and thought-provoking short film.
