I've seen other reviewers comment the movie would've worked better as a series. Perhaps they're correct because the plotline definitely feels more episodic and situational (an issue with a lot of screenplays at this level) than a well-developed narrative. Certain characters suffer tragic fates that, although it serves to illustrate the kind of high stakes lifestyle the main characters are living, do not serve the dramatic arc of the leads at all. In personal opinion, the crime element could've been left out altogether for a simple character study and I would've been much more satisfied. The main performers are clearly fairly new to acting but do decent enough jobs in their roles. The director must've come from a music video background as certain scenes are overly long and focus on music and visuals to a rather annoying fault. Production value decent, it's a good enough looking film. Overall, it's a passable affair. You won't hate that you spent your time watching it but it's not must-see-TV, either.
