I do love me a solid B-movie, and this one, after it finds its footing, delivers. Still not sold on adding Oklahoma to my bucket list, though. But Swab might be getting me there.

Nothing that happens really matters that much. Nevertheless, the movie has the kind of personality and heart too often missing from grimy little crime pictures. It’s endearingly ramshackle.

This was quite an average movie - it had some promising parts, but felt like low budget and actors mostly not too invested in it. Quite forgettable overall and not much happens in it. It was not necessarily bad, but also did not make sense in many parts.
