Plot Outline: This is a short mockumentary about an unfulfilled door-to-door salesmannamed Vincent (Henry Rollins). Alright, you find out pretty quick thathe's really what you might call the Angel of Death. He's stillunfulfilled though.I was a little suspicious that this might turn out to be one of thosehyperactive things you'd see late at night on MTV2, and maybe it is butit's not bad. It's filmed with an on-the-go camera style but the editordid remember to take his Ritalin. There's a lot of gallows humor butthe death scenes aren't played for laughs and carry a surprisingweight.Rollins is effective as the shirt-and-tie grim reaper, checking intocheap motels, eating in diners, all the while talking into the cameraabout how this is just a job for him and he's thought about "retiringearly" and buying into a Jack-in-the-Box franchise that he just happensto know has opened up recently.The movie wisely stops just short of getting didactic, leaving theviewer to fill in most of the blanks about careerism, the possibilityfor change, oblivion, etc.
