Crook

About This Movie

So, 'Crook' is this gritty 2013 action-crime-thriller that dives into the underbelly of a city ruled by corruption. Bryce, a longtime crook, gets tangled up with Tony De Luca, a crime boss who's a real piece of work. The film has this raw, almost bleak atmosphere, perfectly capturing the struggle and desperation of its characters. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it builds tension in fits and starts, which feels sort of authentic to the life Bryce leads. There are some solid practical effects during the more intense scenes, which, if you appreciate that kind of craftsmanship, is a nice touch. Performances are decent, not mind-blowing but definitely solid enough to carry the weight of the story.
