IMDb plot summary: After a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, Connie Nikas embarks on a twisted odyssey through the city's underworld in an increasingly desperate-and dangerous-attempt to get his brother Nick out of jail.
Directed by Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie. Starring Robert Pattinson, Benny Safdie, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Buddy Duress.
Usually crime films are completely uninteresting to me, but there's something particularly compelling about this one. Robert Pattinson's character is a fascinating combination of sympathetic and reprehensible, and the framing device of his relationship with his brother adds a layer to the story that is more interesting than your typical crime drama.
3 stars.
