Genre: Drama, Thriller
IMDB Page
Nodutgang (Emergency Exit) is a taught thriller about the intertwined fates of a would be bank robber and a dying man. The plot may have its holes but it does nothing to take away from the emotional story. The drama tells of human beings pushed to the very end of what they can endure, reaching out and blotting out the darkness of their lives, feelings that are are conveyed even though the short was filmed in Norwegian with English subtitles. Audiences find themselves quickly caring about both men, wondering what they themselves would do in such a situation. When the credits role, they’re still wondering.
