    Nothin new but still a captivating thriller.
    It has good character development but most fellas will compare it with Coen brothers n Tarantino style films.

    The length of the film is its biggest problem cos the action n thrill factor is missing. It does gets a lil slow at times but the characters involved me as a viewer.

    I wud have rated it an 8 but the lack of suspense n tension, which is a must in these kinda films, prevented me from being generous.

    Someone posted the wrong synopsis. Here's mine without spoilers.

    A cleaner forced to care for his ailing mother, finds a huge bag of money at his workplace. Unknown to him, the bag has various characters involved. A custom officer in debt, a loan shark, a scammer, an escort with an abusive husband and an illegal immigrant, all these characters cross paths and get themselves into increasingly deeper trouble as they attempt to cheat their way towards the ultimate payout.
