Standout Aspects

Acting

John Krasinski's pre-fame awkwardness is accidentally perfect.

Writing

Meta-commentary on heist films that becomes the actual plot.

Best for:Streaming: Late-night discovery when you've already seen the good heist movies.·Friends: Irony-appreciating group who yell at characters' bad decisions.·Background: Doing laundry while half-watching Krasinski's pre-Jim Halpert era.
Heads up:Violence: Slapstick bank robbery violence, mostly comedic.
