I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford play a young couple who shortly after the attack on New York (Avengers 2012) come across an alien weapon. They proceed to use this to rob banks but Shield is on their tale.Featuring a couple of semi-recurring characters from the television series Agents Of Shield (2013) this well cast little 8 minutes is fun enough but you need to go in remembering these things aren't exactly stories.They are more like scenes ripped out of films, thankfully usually pretty passable ones.The fact this fits in so well with the Marvel universes continuity really helps as does Caplan, Bradford and the two Shield agents.Passable stuff that can be used as filler inbetween actual feature films.The Good:Great soundtrackLizzy CaplanAgents Of Shield cast membersThe Bad:Really not much to itThings I Learnt From This Movie:An assistant who cannot make coffee should be fired on the spotAfter last seeing Caplan in True Blood I almost didn't recognise her clothed

Saw it. Liked it. So, this short got everything you can think of - effects, characters, action + charisma. The intro was quite lame, but then things started to fire up. It was pretty good. Plus, the final replica is quite funny. I let you find which it is. :)

Item 47 is a ten minute short from Marvel Films bundled with the Blu-ray of the Avengers movie. It tells of a couple (Claire, played by Lizzie Caplan, and Ben, played by Jesse Bradford) who recover a Chitauri weapon after the New York battle which closed the Avengers movie, manage to reactivate it, and then use it to commit bank robberies.Ten minutes proves quite enough to set up the situation, provide some development (with decent effects) and a good payoff. This is not a major piece of work, but it is a decent little addition to the Avengers movie mythology. It would not surprise me at all to see Claire and Ben pop up in subsequent Marvel universe movies.

If you find an Alien gun thats fallen from the sky, what do you do? Hand it in? Sell it? Learn to use it and be a Superhero? Well, if you are a Hollywood cliché good looking American couple then you figure out how to get the gun working (though no one on the planet has been able to do to highlight how clever this good looking chap is), and then go on an Armed Robbery & Killing spree for easy cash.SO what happens when you are finally captured for multiple armed robberies, murders, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder of a S.H.I.E.L.D Agent, wanton destruction and bad acting? A job with S.H.I.E.L.D of course! If these two characters end up being The Wasp and a Henry Pym stand in (with as much effort on this script as the script for the sequel) then I have a feeling that the Avengers may shape up to be as good as Iron Man II.In other-words a monstrosity for anyone with half a brain and a love of the Comics.
