STARRING: Leo Woodall, Havan Rose Liu, Lior Raz, Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno and Dustin Hoffman. Written by Daniel Roher and Robert Ramsey. Directed by Daniel Roher. Running time 107 minutes.
Piano tuner, Niki White (Leo Woodall) a once gifted piano prodigy who gave up his dreams when he was struck down by chronic hearing is forced to raise $66 thousand dollars when his 'Uncle' and boss, Harry Horowitz (Dustin Hoffman) suffers a stroke and ends up in hospital. Niki pursues a secondary career as a safe cracker for Uri (Lior Raz) a security specialist who puts safes into rich people's houses then robs them blind. Niki's sideline in criminality goes well until he meets and falls in love with virtuoso Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), then life goes all Pete Tong when a safe cracking job goes wrong and a man gets killed leaving Niki desperate to find a way out of the criminal life he's embraced.
A well built crime caper pic with a free take and a criminal who's only taken a step on the wild side to help those around him. As the stakes rise, Niki realises he's in too deep and frantically tries to find an out, but at what cost?
Not much more to add, this was a satisfying and entertaining crime caper flick with a good cast and a lead, Leo Woodall, who easily holds his own against the likes of Dustin Hoffman and Jean Reno. The music is lovely and the cinematography matches beautifully. This would have easily scored a 9/10 if it hadn't left so much up in the air. That said, the plot which twists and turns ends with a bitter sweet note and a great final line.
Satisfying and enjoyable. 8/10
