What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Lance enters organized theft after leaving college deeply in debt and feeling that conventional achievement has failed him.
The group claims to steal from the rich in opposition to the system but ultimately steals for personal gain.
The film is explicitly described as pulse-pounding and kinetic, with a heist sensibility associated with Guy Ritchie, Tarantino, The Town, and Heat.
Lance is pulled into the underground operation, finds himself in over his head, and faces mounting pressure as police close in.
