      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 Excellent mix of drama (mostly background), crime, double crossing and satisfactory ending. Short and sweet Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A story that has been told in other movies, but this one is told better than most. Old criminal adjusts to life on the outside, pulls off one last job for "reasons." It's a slow burn, but the acting is quality and there is plenty of time spent building believable back stories for the characters. The heist is basic, with not a lot of surprises, but it fits with the rest of the movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 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 Read all reviews Post a rating

      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
