The Lighter

A young driver is struggling to light his cigarette.

This is currently legally free on YouTube. I'm doing this review because I wanted to watch everything by writer-director Patrick Hughes that I had access to, since I really admire his work on Expendables 3 and Red Hill. So while I feel compelled to keep this completely honest, I really don't want to come across as harsh for his early work. He would have been around 23 years old when making this. So of course he didn't yet have the emotional maturity that he displays in his later work. He also only later learned how to craft a truly unpredictable outcome. The technical aspects are fine.

I recommend this to his biggest fans. 6/10.
