Showiness instead of substance

Warning: Spoilers
This short-film actually has an interesting premise. A director suspects his wife and another actor having an affairs, loses his sanity and tricks them into a trap. From that moment on, he has the pair taken hostage and forces them to act out a script he wrote for his revenge, including the inevitably kinky parts in the second half of the film.

Unfortunately, the whole execution could have been so much better with more attention to detail. IMDb genre defines it as a crime thriller, but I never felt thrilled at all while watching it. As the film approaches the end of its 12 minutes a crucial revelation from the man held hostage comes pretty much out of nowhere and I wasn't a big fan of the final scene and communication either. It all seemed a bit over the top as if everybody was going too much for "spectacular" instead of realistic. Definitely didn't like it as much as I hoped I would.
