A small-time criminal, Connie, and his intellectually disabled brother, Nick, botch a bank robbery, leading to Nick's capture. Over the course of one chaotic night, Connie manipulates and exploits everyone he encounters in a desperate attempt to free his brother. The breakthrough film from the Safdie brothers is an unpredictable crime thriller full of relentless energy, fuelled by restless camerawork, tight close-ups, and the pulsating soundtrack by Oneohtrix Point Never. Robert Pattinson gives one of his career-best perfomances.
