Go see the film, great performances all around!
3 November 2018 | by dsgerlach – See all my reviews

Jim Gaffigan is spectacular and pulls your sympathy even though it's undeserved. Robbie Jones is a scary villain who does a tremendous job pulling you into the mess with an awesome performance not to be missed.
