"There's nothing like a good robbery... to bring a family together."

Boxlist takeVery fast and low-key: a stylised crime comedy, glossy rather than gritty. Best if you like easy over intense.

Synopsis

Jessie is an aging career criminal who has been in more jails, fights, schemes, and lineups than just about anyone else. His son Vito, while currently on the straight and narrow, has had a fairly shady past and is indeed no stranger to illegal activity. They both have great hope for Adam, Vito's son and Jessie's grandson, who is bright, good-looking, and without a criminal past.
