With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who like their stories with a little danger and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Expect bad people, worse choices and a few surprises. Shelve it next to In Cold Blood or The Place Beyond the Pines.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1940: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
In this Crime Does Not Pay series short, a young woman wants to save her baby, but is afraid of telling her parents and has no money to pay the hospital costs involved. She falls prey to a baby-for-sale racket with quack doctors performing their services.
