This film is much more worthy of wide release than some of the films I've seen thus far this year.

The film moves along well, the acting is well done, the story (how we can feel our lives are no longer our own and out of control with little choices) not overplayed.

This is NOT an action movie, the pace is slow, but does NOT drag (unlike with some films that you feel like you have been in the theatre 2 hours and you are only half way through the movie). This is a standard length film, works well to setup the story, while interjecting good character points as the film progresses.

This is a story about life, not about the Bank Heist that is the vehicle by which this Drama is driven.

With all the big studio over-hyped, only to be disappointed, flicks that have been paraded across the screens thus far this year, this one is a welcome change and was well worth the cost of the admission.
