Marc Savlov

Austin Chronicle

It almost works, too, though ultimately this visually splendid but sluggish story of a twentysomething would-be writer and his impulsive, overnight career as a bank and convenience-store robber takes the money and runs nowhere.

Rated: 2/5

Begins with an outrageous concept and takes it to the -- pun definitely intended -- max.

After failing at writing, a Denver writer becomes a criminal. Low budget fun.

This film really captures the feeling of the being lost and finally finding what fits, a true coming of age or clarity kind of movie.

Low budget, but high pay off. This movie is slick, crafty and funny. Interesting premise and characters as well. Watch it and become a thief.
