Two master thieves go at odds with one another as one sets the other up for a crime. The first, a suave pro who does his job and then hides in his own privacy, listening to old jazz records and caring for his ailing dog, Wally. The other is a local gangster with a taste for the finer life, who decides to eliminate the competition. This ignites a war between the two men and their aides. An angry mob boss and a female police officer try to sort the mess before things get too out of hand.

VIBE

A cool, crime-caper vibe with sharp dialogue and escalating stakes. It’s a stylish, if somewhat predictable, cat-and-mouse game between two professionals, set against a backdrop of urban grit and jazz-infused cool.
