REVIEW: CLOSE OF PLAY

Close of Play, written and directed by George Nelson, is an incredibly well thought out cohesive piece that cleverly uses the strength of the s riot to propel this compelling and psychological narrative that leaves audiences guessing on their toes throughout, not knowing what is going to happen from one scene to the next with excellent direction from Nelson that creates this boiling tension they overflows and the clever use of POV shots, and from below camera angles create this sense of utter dread. The performances are at the best with Corey Wade leading the cast as Kyle Cooper who expertly conveys the struggling character as his anger boils over throughout the film leading to the climatic scenes of him killing Josh Kelly played superbly by John Lee Taggart and you can clearly understand from

rtrayal why he is unlikeable. The score of the film helps convey the dramatic tension of the piece that elevates the film with its Jaws esque feeling that acts at times like a heartbeat and thus the dynamic and history between these two characters and the complexity of their relationship is what is truly exciting about this piece and is a triumph to everyone involved in it.
