A clever take on the body-switch genre. the jokes were funny. And it was great to see the film makers go around the challenges they faced with the production and resources. Not so sure if 'What have I got?' would qualify or disqualify this, which would be a shame. Hope to see more of them in the future.

Funny film with a great concept, a detective at the top of his game is struck down by a car on the way out for his next mission which involves disarming a bomb before time runs out. Now dead his wandering spirit must inhabit a body to disarm the bomb, eventually he comes across a Bully Bobby Young and begins out on his quest filled with shameless racial based jokes, he can only speak korean and has become a horrible driver somehow. A little rough around the edges in terms of production value but doesn't skimp on the entertainment.
This was a great film and one of my favourites from the heat. There were some great jokes and a solid story. I felt that the ending was rather predictable but not enough so to take away from the entertaining experience.

The movie had a good story that was easy to follow and I liked their use of effects. It was lacking in it's sound quality and some of the shots weren't the best but I was definitely entertained.

Best movie of the heat. Good story, good laughs, Awesome Special Effects! Some of the audio was a bit out of sync but an excellent viewing overall.

I laughed quite hard during this nice rework of the dead but coming back in someone elses body story. A suave secret agent is going to disarm a bomb that will destroy everything when he is killed by accident. He then has to hunt for a body to possess and he chooses a Korean guy. They went for a few obvious race gags that weren't really needed as the rest of it was quite funny anyway. I think they'll be DQ'd for saying 'What have I got' but the ending was great and i'm sure it will rate well in the screening room. Nice effort.
I really liked this short. Despite the sound being...weird, I liked the visuals and the performances. I loved the use of the Bobby Young character and how he becomes an ex-bully. Perhaps a bit disjointed at the beginning, the resolution of the story came together well and had a nice twist. I gave one of my votes to this film:)
One of the standouts of the heats. They really got the audience going with their awesome 30s intro: a homage to Kubricks 2011 space odyssey (nice work). The story of a special agent dying in pursuit of disarming a bomb, only for his spirit to inhabit the most unlikely person to carry out the mission was, I thought, a great concept. The production was a little rough and im sure the editing was slowed down by some cool special effects (always love an actor being run over by a car!). All in all it kept the crowd entertained (awkward racial humor included) and finished with a nice twist to make Bobby young an ex-bully. Got one of my votes :)
