Felix Melman (Peter Pryor) leads a pitiful existance: He is divorced,
his wife (Janice Marie) hates him, hi son (Matthew Lantz) ignores him, his
boss (Greg Wood) blames him for everything that goes wrong and his
colleague (Matt Pfeiffer) steals the woman (Dana Michael) he's in love
with from right under his nose. But that's only half the truth about
Felix Melman, because he is also a hitman, and a dam good one, too (thanks
also to his perfectly harmless appearance and attitude). True, he is not
crazy about killing, but hey, it's a job ... During his latest
assignement, Felix and Judd (Jeb Kreager), bodyguard of Felix's contract,
get in a stalemate: Both are armed to the teeth, but can't leave the scene
without risking to be killed. Interestingly, they manage to talk it out,
and Felix promises Judd to try and get him a job in his organisation
(Judd's not a real bodyguard but a hitman who does a bit of bodyguarding
on the side) - and when things finally turn against Felix because, Judd is
only to happy to help out and lead everything to a happy ending. But
just because he's a hitman that doesn't save Felix from the wrath of his
ex wife ... Rather hilarious short that is carried above all
else by some extremely funny dialogues - especially the one between Felix
and Judd including its whole buildup is a hoot - paired with a great
central performance by Peter Pryor. And if that has made you in
any way curious, you might want to this site - http://www.impulse-fx.com/SF1_Felix_Melman.html
