Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for people who root for the clever crook and people who like their stories with a little danger. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. If you loved Bonnie and Clyde or The Town, start here.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A young man returning home to attend a wedding hooks up with a drifter who turns out to be a violent bank robber. Before he knows it, the man finds himself involved in the robber's plans.
