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.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
