I suppose it's a little bit of a stretch to call this terrific film a thriller. A mild mannered man who happens to have stolen a large sum of money chats with a prostitute in a bar.
This conversation is unwound at various and appropriate intervals throughout the film. This is a complex film with several characters who each interact with our antihero in various ways at various times.
I gave this little gem a nine.
