It's merely OK. I also felt the whole movie was kind of unnecesary.

A sharp neo-noir crime thriller is an impressive feature debut for director Nash Edgerton. Great with performances with a smartly-assembled script packed with solid twists and moral ambiguity, all told with a confidently subtly style. Fans of the genre should really seek this one out.

El estilo me recordo a la joya Animal Kingdoom (por ser australiana, tal vez...) la intensidad de la pelicula va creciendo hasta convertirse en una extraña mezcla de humor negro y drama. Todo lo que puede salir mal, tiene que salir mal.

It's a simple thriller, but the moments of violence really hit me. Edgerton seems to have a good grasp of what makes a crime thriller tick.
