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 fans of a good con and people who like their stories with a little danger. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. A good follow-up to Baby Driver or Bottle Rocket.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Two rural West Virginia brothers leave home, rob an armored car and become fugitives.
