An impressive low-budget heist film. It starts with the elaborate robbery, 20 minutes almost entirely without dialogue, Rififi-style. Just about the only words you hear are a few snippets of interior monologue, introducing the doomed protagonists. Then it's a tense slow burn as they gradually meet their inevitable undoing. The cast of mostly unknowns is pretty good, with understated performances that give us a peek into their lives. It's just one of those movies that works in all the right ways.
