Plot

A would-be artist (Andrew Keegan) is working in a dead-end job as a bank teller. At the urging of his movie-obsessed slacker roommate (John Krasinski), he agrees to be the inside man for a bank heist. While the heist plans are coordinated, the artist's girlfriend (Lacey Chabert) arranges for him to have his first gallery exhibition. But when he tries to stop the heist, the plan is too far into motion to be halted.

Reception

Reviews for the film were mixed, with Film Threat cheering it as "a deceptive sleeper"[1] while FilmCritic.com complained that it was "a post-modern pastiche of heist flick and comedy, the kind popularized by Reservoir Dogs and knocked off endlessly ever since it was released."[2]

Release

The film was a direct-to-DVD release, distributed by ThinkFilm.[3]
