Elevator Pitch |
A very cool criminal gang pull off a complex jewel robbery but their fence refuses to pay them unless they undertake an even more dangerous and complex heist, with his nephew riding shotgun. They agree to do the job, but no-one trusts anyone else and nothing is quite what it seems. |
Content |
Quite a bit of time carrying out the robberies, a lot of arguments in the planning stage and tension as they must avoid problems with the police. No sex, nudity, drugs or drinking but one assumes that the strong language made it a 15. |
A View |
It’s David Mamet so you have to expect some twists and turns, and you get them with, I think, a varying degree of success, but it’s clever stuff anyway and worth a watch for nothing. |
