Nothing is Sacred

3/5
A action-packed drama about betrayal and revenge.

Synopsis

A gang enforcer is ordered to kill his brother-in-law by his adopted mother’s sex trafficking ring in order to save his young niece and sister from being sold into sexual slavery.

Review

Written and directed by Peter Jang, ‘Nothing is Sacred’ is a short action film that explores the inner conflict of a crime family. Peter Jang leads the cast as Michael, with Christian Howard as Colin, Dennis Keiffer as Martelli and Daniel Moncada as Crow. Gabrielle Lajudice portrays Francine in a voice-only role. The short delves into themes of betrayal, retribution, conspiracy and corruption. The audience can expect a steely narrative with awe-inspiring fight sequences.

The crime drama centres around vengeance and family in-fighting which involves the family matriarch and a sex trafficking ring. Viewers may be perplexed by the plotline as the narrative speeds along a little too quick to grasp – a second or third watch will certainly do the trick. Unfortunately, this is one of the major flaws of the film, despite having spectacular cinematography and acting delivery. Thankfully, a rewarding twist to the narrative seals the films fate.

In spite of the initial narrative bewilderment, Peter Jang (Writer/Director/Star) still manages to keep viewers captivated with riveting dialogue, picturesque widescreen cinematography and high action choreography. Sound design needs a tad polishing in places, but this is generally forgivable. Post-production is of an acceptable standard. A fast-moving, albeit an enthralling watch.
