9/10
Dysfunctional couple robs bank, succeeds at robbery, fails at getaway...

... because they take hostage the guy who supplies them with their fake passports. I saw this at a private screening last year and only hope it goes wide. Every marriage has its problems but this film really makes you look inside and ask what it's all about. Middle class, misguided fruit compotes trying to make their lives work and failing because they have no values or no spine. This felt like "Bonnie and Clyde" meets "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf." This is fast paced witty stuff. All three leads burn it up, particularly Jeff Stearns. The girl's legs go on for days and the nebbish husband made me ache. Every time I thought they couldn't sustain it on the obviously modest budget I was surprised. This is a worth see, no matter how hard you have to look.
