Somewhen and somewhere in the Batman
universe: Villainess Harley Quinn (Madeleine Wade) has taken
the mayor (Paul Cross) and his family (Jamie M Timmons, Nikki Neufeld)
hostage and grants their release under one condition only - that the Joker
(Micah Fitzgerald), presently incarcerated at the Arkham Asylum, will be
released into her custody. The plan works out, but the Joker's baffled
that she broke him free, as when he was arrested he left her to die in
order to escape (neither has worked out, obviously). But he's even more
baffled when he learns Harley's escape plan has but one major flaw: The
two of them are now in a house surrounded by cops - and there's no way out
... Now don't expect this to be an origin story, this fan-movie
expects you to know who Harley Quinn is and what her relation to the joker
is - but if you don't even a very superficial research will suffice to
make you enjoy this, as this is not a movie that tries to dig extra deeply
into the characters' mythology and be firmly rooted into the comicbook
universe, but a character study that superficially takes its freedom with
the characters (like showing the Joker without makeup) but ultimately
shows a very deep understanding for them. All this is carried by really
good performances of the two leads as well as a great directorial effort,
getting the most out of very limited locations and next to no actual
action. Totally worth a look for both Batman-enthusiasts
and casual viewers alike!
