Do you want action, emotions and thrill in a film that is just 19 minutes long, well here is the answer for you Heart Shot by Netflix.

Heart Shot on Netflix: 19 Minutes of Romance Blended With Action, Drama and Thrill – Should You Watch It?

Storytelling is a dynamic format. Sometimes it takes filmmakers more than three
hours to tell their story, and some need 90 minutes to share their messaging.
However, some directors do it in mere 20 minutes. That is how we can explain the
newest short film on Netflix, Heart Shot.


HEART SHOT PLOT AND CAST

Heart Shot is a part of Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/]‘s
Emerging Filmmaker Initiative (EFI
[https://netflixjunkie.com/?p=19135&preview=true]). Marielle Woods acts as the
co-writer and the Director of the film. She previously has worked on big
action-driven films such as Baby Driver and John Wick: Chapter 2. Just by
reading her resume, one can understand what Heart Shot brings to the table, and
it is precisely what it does.

You do not understand how a scene of two women in bed trying to figure out their
issues immediately turns into action and thriller like a Bond film.

We cannot explain the film without giving out some spoilers, but in gist, the
movie is about two teenage girls, Nikki and Sam, who are in a relationship.
However, their life turns upside down when Nikki’s past comes to haunt them.

As the movie is just 19 minutes long, it has a concise cast, with Elena Hueze
playing Nikki and Nia Sondaya as Samantha (Sam).

Ever since the movie started streaming [https://www.netflix.com/title/81343173]
on Netflix on the 17th of February, critics and fans have been giving it a warm

And as for critics, readystudycu
[https://readysteadycut.com/2022/02/18/review-heart-shot-netflix-film/]t says
that the film “seamlessly connecting a backstory to an immediate transition into
the film’s reveal in a short time. As soon as Nikki spends the night with Sam,
after revealing her toxic upbringing by an abusive mother, the story shifts into
a John Wick-style revelation.”


SHOULD YOU WATCH IT?

We feel that Heart Shot is a perfect watch for those who don’t have hours to
give to a film just to enjoy some thrill and action while still feeling the
characters’ emotions in the movie. However, due to its packed run time, the film
does leave many questions unanswered. Still, its 19 min watch will keep you
entertained for the whole day as you try to figure out what was Nikki’s secret.

The film is currently available on Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/]. Do let us
know what you think about the film.
