Rusty Rehl's OPPORTUNITY is a blast. A comedic caper it's a great mix of comedy and humor and something that needs to be tracked down.
The plot of the film has Pat living in his van. He's given up his life of crime, but things are not going his way. When a friend tells him he has a deal that can get him the money for a house, he begins to waiver. As he gets sucked in things begin to go sideways things he realizes he's in over his head and the crazy people he's dealing with, including a bunch or Mormon mobsters may end up killing him.
This film is a great deal of fun. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this little gem. Funny, suspenseful and extremely entertaining, OPPORTUNITY is just a delight. Honestly it's one of the great discoveries of the year.
This is Rehl's first feature, and it doesn't feel like it. Often when people jump from shorts to features they don't handle the longer form well, but Rehl hits it out of the park.
It helps that that the cast is right there with him. They deserve kudos for walking the fine line between comedy and suspense.
What a joy.
This is a film you need to track down not just because its a great deal of fun, but it's calling card of Rusty Rehl who is going to do great things.
