Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Motivated by an almost ferocious love for his intellectually disabled brother, Nick, and an explosive mix of desperation and thirst for a better life, the abrasive and fledgeling criminal, Connie, involves his sibling in an ill-conceived bank robbery that swears to be a quick and easy job. Instead, things go utterly wrong, and Nick will wind up in Rikers Island after one unanticipated complication, forcing the desperate but determined Connie to embark on a nightmarish, no-holds-barred quest to bail Nick out. Inevitably, over the course of a long and violent night, Connie will go to great lengths to save Nick from a cruel fate, doomed, however, to do more harm than good. Is it all heading somewhere?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Robert Pattinson and Benny Safdie worked in-character at a car wash in Queens for a camera test and as part of the preparation for their brother relationship. Pattinson would go as Connie to show Nick how to function and be a part of normal society by drying the cars. Nick would get distracted from work and did things like pulling off other people's windscreen wipers. Connie would get frustrated and angry at Nick for not being able to do a normal job. See more » |
| Goofs | During the flashback scene outside White Castle, the acid-buying complainer is shown running along a street and then entering a cab. The street has red colored crosswalks (or bicycle paths) and the cab is green and white. Neither the red path nor any green and white cabs are found in New York City, let alone the Queens, New York area where the film takes place. See more » |
