As the trailer tells us, Emily has a large amount of debt and is still struggling to stay afloat. The opportunity to make some quick money by doing something illegal presents itself. Easy money leads to wanting to make more. Bigger payout, bigger risk. Can she handle it or will she get in over her head?
Let’s set some expectations. I didn’t have high expectations going in. I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. Even though I now know the outcome. I wouldn’t mind rewatching it again. See if I missed anything. That being said. This is no big heist movie, with elaborate plans within plans. It is very grounded in the criminal activity happening. Most of us can relate to her financial struggle and the temptation of a quick buck. I enjoyed the way this movie portrayed it. If you enjoy crime dramas, check it out.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Must have app if you love the movies
If you’re like me and enjoy a 92oz soda as part of the movie experience, you’ll be thankful for this app telling you the best times to go for a quick break. Whether that’s to refill your soda or recycle it.
Possibly an even better feature is the info on if the movie has after credits scenes. There’s nothing worse than sitting there reading about who the key grip was, then finding out that’s all you did. I blame Marvel for the stupid trend.
Seriously, I see a dozen movies a month and use this app every single time. Worth every Penny of the infinity coin thing I bought.
Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.
