REVIEWS:

“A riveting college-boy crime caper that tiggers along on pure movie-movie adrenalin, before U-turning into a sobering reflection on young male privilege and entitlement.” – Guy Lodge, VARIETY

“A crackerjack real-life heist thriller.” – Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter

“As a crime-thriller, it’s suitably nerve-wracking and ludicrous, while somehow still poignant and thoughtful. – Kevin Fallon, The Daily Beast
