Under Appreciated and Overlooked
17 August 2012
Overlooked sleeper that for some reason failed to get a theatrical release. Go figure. With so many awful stuff making it to the big screen, this one slipped through and got the bum's rush to cable and video.

Remarkable performances by the female leads propel this under appreciated underworld movie that uses a balance of camaraderie and crime to give us an entertaining affair with some touching turns and violent vignettes.

The bar scene that sets things in motion is a nod to Goodfellas (1990) and that said the Goodfellas here are pretty much out of central casting and the "twist" ending has been used many times but this film is better then most low budget mob movies.
