A tight little thriller

Summary


Full review

A very well made and acted and paced thriller following Emily's (Aubery Plaza) odyssey into life as an independent crime boss.  From a wholly believable presmise - young woman saddled with student debt and a conviction that prevents her getting a better job, finds a way to make a bit of extra cash - and then some more. And why wouldn't she.

Partnering with Youcef (Theo Rossi) they start to build a business, until Youcef's partners find out what he is up to and Emily pushes back.

Very enjoyable, nice to see a strong female lead character in a thriller. Aubrey Plaza is excellent and the story is well written by director John Patton Ford.
