Shot on a budget that would barely have covered Mel Gibson's hairspray on Braveheart, this homemade indie feature has enough geeky charm and genial humour to transcend its made-for-our-pals mood. Jazz and Wolf will lose the lease on Deadhead Comics in Edinburgh if they don't come up with £5000 by the end of the week. Fate intervenes in the shape of a rare mint copy of the first edition of the Electric Man comic, but immediately our heroes are thrown into a head- spinning series of bluffs and betrayals as everyone wants to get their mitts on the inky artifact. David Barras' film wears its influences – The Maltese Falcon, Clerks, The IT Crowd – as brazenly as a bat logo on a puffed-up chest. The plot is confusing, the jokes are aimed too directly at the geek crowd and the acting is variable (to put it politely), which means it's not the new Gregory's Girl ... but it might just be the new That Sinking Feeling.
