Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Scott Doherty's music underscores this family reunion in a minor key. The heist itself is gripping, but it is Russom's performance that holds the attention and refuses to let go. Rated: 4/5 Jun 16, 2017 Full Review Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews a short, sharp shock of a crime film, keenly directed Rated: 7/10 Jun 16, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Johnny S trailer doesn't match film here on RT Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Don K One of the best screenplays—for dialogue, tone, plot, and credibility—one can see. Acting, directing, editing, and camerawork—work hand-in-hand with the viewer. Well constructed with an increasingly suspenseful plot that twists—contorts!—convincingly and satisfactorily. Superb. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review ronald h A clever, tightly directed noir thriller that has a surprise at the end that nobody can possibly predict. Great characters and dialogue. I hope that this indie effort gets some attention. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid! Great cast. Patient and mature direction. A Top Notch heist story with realistic and interesting characters. The writers qnd director know what's playing in our heads as we're watching the movie and they deliver! Not an odd or off-kilter note in the whole movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie!! Great writing and direction. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/18 Full Review Audience Member Amazing film!!! Super impressive what was accomplished on a crazy low budget. Gorgeously shot/lit, great acting by veteran character actors, and superbly written. Definitely worth your time! Highly recommend!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
