Good movie but grossly overrated

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The film starts out with a funeral, followed by four of his buddies having a drink and smoking a doobie. Zach (Michael Pitt) is a portfolio manager and is engaged to Janie (Morgan Wolk). Noah (Dan Stevens) was the class geek. He was bullied and is still a bit socially awkward. Bryce (Rob Brown) has a hot stock tip. And Warren (Christopher Abbott) rounds out the foursome.It starts out innocent enough as Noah was able to come up with the money for our foursome to invest in Bidexco stock. As fate would have it the stock fails. Noah borrowed the money from the mob and Eddie (John Travolta) wants his money with interest. Clearly our guys don't have the money, so they reluctantly agree to kidnap Marques (Edi Gathegi) for Eddie so he can exchange for his kidnapped niece.The film flows in a dark, quirky and sometimes twisty manner. Then at the very end the film twists in multiple ways which frankly I didn't see coming.Travolta looked like he is using Botox and his hair looked like it was plastic. Good crime/drama/thriller with some dark humor.Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Morgan Wolk)

This was for the most part virtually identical to Suicide Kings is there any originality in movieland anywhere

The end could be better if it takes sometime to describe the strategy better.John is fine as last years of his career, but the director should explore his talent a bit more.I expected a longer action in this movies.]But it is fine if you just want to see some actors making the best they could.As I commented before, some more know actors would improve this move performance, once there is a good role play behind.thanks for the opportunity of watching it based on IMDb comments.

A Low-Budget Indie by First Time Director Haley. His Film will Probably have You saying this isn't the first time for this Type of Thing. Obviously, a Homage or a Copycat, depending on Your Feeling about the Film.It's mostly Dialog Driven with Splatters of Violence for Punctuation. Sound Familiar? Some of the Scenes are irritating Shouting Matches and Hardly Witty. Others are more Clever and make for some Interesting Exchanges.An Amateur Kidnapping Scheme is at the Center of this Exercise in Neo-Noir. Haley plays a Glib and Aloof Mob Enforcer and John Travolta is in one of His Slumming Roles with Bad Makeup, but Manages to be an Anchor of Sorts for the Young Turks and Their Concern with High School Camaraderie and Current Girlfriend Fidelity.It's a Scattershot Story with some Intrigue and Interest, not a lot of it Works but some Things Do and it is Worth a Watch for B-Movie Fans, and Tarantino Rip-Off Spotters. The Ending may be more Complex than Needed, but it Feels like the Filmmakers think that the Overly Twisted Wrap Up makes this Something Special. Maybe, but Maybe too Clever for this Small Film to Pull Off.It's a Multitude of Things that were Withheld from the Audience and You will either be Saying A-Ha, or Give Me a Break. Depending if You can Fully Understand it all or Feel that it isn't Worth Understanding after all.
