Hit and Miss is a short crime film set in northern England telling the story of 2 amateur, incompetent thieves who misplace some stolen money after a heist. The short film contains a gritty plot, along with an unexpected narrative twist, keeping the audience gripped until the end.
The film is targeted towards a British, young adult audience. In particular, I think the film would appeal mostly to an audience in Northern England, given that the characters are from there and a Northern English audience can relate to them and the setting.
Initially, the heist is proving to be a success, until the clumsy and unprofessional rookie shows the boss up. This theme continues into the escape sequence as the rookie mistakenly loses some of the money after he falls over.
The film then progresses to the aftermath of the heist at the thieves' safehouse. The boss is counting the money and to his dismay, he discovers that some of the money is missing. Fearing that his partner has ripped him off, the boss pulls a gun on the rookie after a heated argument. In return, the rookie pulls his gun on the boss. After a thrilling, tense standoff, the roles get reversed. The boss makes a rookie mistake, as he pulls the trigger to find that the gun isn't loaded. The camera then cuts to outside of the house with a gunshot going off from inside the house, leaving the audience guessing the outcome of the standoff, this is followed by the rookie fleeing the house. The camera then cuts inside, slowly revealing the corpse of the boss, along with the abandoned money.
The film then cuts to black, followed by the credits.
After this, there's a short clip of a stranger discovering the lost money.
This concludes a thrilling short film.
