2/5
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. Go to Full Review Gary Wolcott Tri-City Herald 06/15/2009
5/5
Begins with an outrageous concept and takes it to the -- pun definitely intended -- max. Go to Full Review Lindy West The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 05/05/2009

08/20/2012 After failing at writing, a Denver writer becomes a criminal. Low budget fun. See more 02/09/2012 Miranda is a Jack-Ass, and the Non-Festival cut of this movie SUCKS See more 11/27/2011 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. See more 06/11/2011 Stupid but a lot of fun. See more 04/02/2011 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. See more 03/28/2011 Very different and pretty funny...mental at times, but not bad at all... See more Read all reviews
