This movie is a decent modern crime thriller, with a surprisingly effective antagonist and some great suspenseful scenes. Unfortunately, some other scenes are drawn out so long they fall flat and there are one or two comebacks characters make that are so unbelievable that it undercuts the stakes of the film. Nevertheless, it’s a bold entry into the noir genre and definitely worth a watch for those who don’t mind subject matter that gets a bit gritty.
Closest comparison: It’s like No Country for Old Men by way of Fargo.
Setting: Noir
