About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like star-driven crime capers with volatile relationships, big personalities, and a slick 1970s feel, like Widows or Hell or High Water; Not for you if you want a tight, clear, fast-moving story.
Pros: strong ensemble acting; stylish 70s vibe; darkly funny moments | Cons: messy, confusing plot; overlong, talky pacing; hard to root
