The Car Service: A Tense Car Appointment

By Rhea Mursalin

The Car Service, directed by Mark Kiefer, is a short film that delves into the heated dialogue between two men (played by Liam McNeill and Eddie Nason) as they dispute the needs of an expensive car. Kiefer skillfully crafts a concise and intriguing narrative, revealing how contrasting opinions and attitudes can collide in an ostensibly routine situation.

The project unfolds in two distinct locations—the opulent setting of a rich man’s balcony and an auto service shop. After the two manage to reach an agreement on the car’s appointment day and time, the “rich” man cheerfully informs his mother that the car can be fixed. This moment hints at either the car belonging to his mother or a softer side beneath his gruff exterior.

The Car Service offers a refreshing media break, characterized by brisk banter and whimsical background music. If you’re seeking a quick and engaging debate between two individuals while they navigate the complexities of a seemingly straightforward appointment, The Car Service is worth your attention.

I would rate this film 3 out of 5 stars.
