“One foot in the door. The other one in the gutter.”
ComedyCrime
Jerry and his two pals, Russ and Syd, are just looking for some easy money to help them break out of their nowhere lives in their nowhere town. Despite a bungled jewelry store heist which exposes their incompetence as criminals, a fateful event (and an old black-and-white film) convinces them that they can pull off an armored-truck robbery. While they are busy plotting their caper, their dysfunctional families spin out of control, all around them.
VIBE
A darkly funny, slightly sad-sack vibe permeates this tale of hapless small-timers dreaming of a big score. It's a messy, character-driven caper that feels both aimless and oddly charming, like a forgotten mixtape.
