Our take

A meticulous thief planning a final freeway score collides with an insurance investigator and a driven detective. Rated M for language throughout, some violence and sexual material or nudity. Armed standoffs, shootouts, crude sex jokes and nonstop f-word dialogue run across a long runtime.

Uplifting themes

Some characters seek redemption, but crime and cynicism dominate The detective shows integrity, but most leads operate outside the law

Story (may spoil tone)

When an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists unfold along the iconic 101 freeway in Los Angeles eyes the score of a lifetime, with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker who is facing her own crossroads. Determined to crack the case, a relentless detective closes in on the operation, raising the stakes even higher.

Talk after watching

  • The thief follows a personal code while breaking the law. Can someone be sympathetic and still dangerous?
  • Los Angeles traffic and fame culture shape the story. How does setting affect a heist movie?
