Shooting Blanks

Synopsis

With a laundry list of buffed hits and assassinations, Joey and Danny Cielo (Peter Pardini and Matt Edde) have really put their family in a bind. In order to get out of this predicament, a hefty sum of money will need to be obtained. The problem is, Frankie and Lucio (Grant Garry and Matt Sullivan) - the hit men's money flow - don't have it. The dysfunctional family embarks on a get money quick scheme in order to pay back Lucas and Frederico Bracio (Victor Telles and Michael Karagozian). Their cross-country escapade entails fending off burglars, chasing a guy who "can't pay" and going through an all too odd drug scheme, Shooting Blanks is an interesting and eccentric look at "disorganized" organized crime. Combining dark humor, slapstick and action to spare, Whacked Films delivers an entertaining farce that Kellen Prandini calls "detailed."
