What a tease. They show us a small story with Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford. I really wish they would have brought Lizzy Caplan into the MCU universe. She is a very talented and amazing actress that could have totally rocked a part. The story was short, but fun. It was nice to see more of Agent Jasper Sitwell in action. He has a very different style than Colsoun. But he's still fun. He seems to be in most of the One-Shot's. I liked the story. It was short, but still told something and gave a glimpse at alien technology and how it looks in civilians hands. It was funny and definitely went in a different direction then I thought it was going to go in. I'd totally watch a full movie about Claire and Bennie (bonnie and clyde) if they would have made one.

While the previous Marvel One-Shots focused on fast & quick explorations of the universe, Item 47 takes its time and allows for more storytelling. Following Agent Jasper Sitwell (Maximiliano Hernández), he is tasked with retrieving a Chitauri weapon from some bank robbers. Robbing banks on their journey down the East Coast, Claire Weiss & Bennie Pollock act as a modern Bonnie & Clyde, albeit less organized or professional. While their antics are entertaining in a slapstick manner, the short focuses on comedy and fails to provide much outside of that. The Marvel One-Shots are a wonderful idea, but so far they have been heavily underutilized and fail to expand the universe in any meaningful way.
