The Forgotten Hit - Short Film Response

The Forgotten Hit is a short mystery film by undergraduate students.
The film depicts a man waking up in the middle of the forest with amnesia. He finds a gun and soon after a man who has been shot and killed. Upon finding his wallet he soon discovers that this man is in fact the target of a hitman who he was sent to kill. He finds a car and works out where to find this persons wife who wanted the hit called off. He shoots and kills her only to find out that she is in fact his wife. He actually managed to disarm and kill his assailant who took his wallet. He panicked and hit his head on a rock which caused his amnesia.
I quite liked this film as it had a well thought out non-linear narrative. It reminds me of this other film I've seen called Wrecked which stars Adrien Brody. It used music very well and the closed narrative helped to keep the audience hooked and keep watching.
The only problem I had was that a hitman would be wearing gloves when he goes into a target's house and kill them.
