NOT SAFE FOR WORK (2014)

For only 74 minutes in length, this thriller packs quite a punch.  Max Minghella (the reason I watched the film) stars as Tom Miller, an ambitious paralegal for a huge law firm who often goes above and beyond his job duties to help - a trait that gets him fired over an innocent error.  Heading out of the office that afternoon, head low, Tom notices some odd activity in the lobby that leads him back up to the 34th floor ... where he soon finds himself and a couple of unwitting co-workers trapped on the empty floor with a coldblooded killer (JJ Feild, AWESOME here) who shoots first and doesn't bother to ask questions (well, not that many) later.  A small cast and limited sets (nearly everything takes place on the office set) only add to the tension of this well-paced, tautly-written thriller that deserves a much wider audience than it's likely to ever get.  The ending could have put more of an exclamation point to things, but that said this was a VERY pleasant surprise. (unrated)  ***1/2
