Review of The Rules of the Game

This week I happened upon an entertaining what fourth wall? story about a man seeking revenge on his cheating wife-to-be. The script is easy to relish when delivered by a playful and charming solo actor, as he tells us directly about a not-so-familiar scandal. The fiancé is known to be cheating with the best man, but what does the groom do next? The answer to that question is what takes up the majority of the film's seven-minute run time, but it doesn't feel too drawn out. The film is also certainly not bad to look at, although the most unique elements are probably the narrating protagonist's frequent acting-out of events from his story (including a one-man wedding and some nasty squirts of fake blood). From the script to the technical to the score to the satisfying ending, this short film gets everything right from my perspective, and is pretty unique to boot.
