Two hitman, one young, inexperienced and jittery (Austin Wright), one seasoned and overly-calm (Michael Gonza) wait for their target in a hotel room, and to make it easy for them, their target is to knock on their door and announce himself as "room service" - so really a job that couldn't be simpler, right? Only the simplest jobs are always the most likely to go awry ...

Room Service is a film that gets very much out of very little, basically it's just two people sitting around in a very unspectacular hotel room, clumsily trying to make conversation (or avoiding to do so), but it's the way the thing is written, and subsequently also acted and filmed that makes this work, a character-centric piece told with veiled irony, with a few surprise twists packed into its approximately 10 minute running time. And all of this makes Room Service a very entertaining watch for sure.
