Setup

About This Movie

So, 'Setup' from 2011 really dives into that gritty crime drama vibe, doesn't it? You've got these friends who initially seem tight, but once the heist goes south, it's all about survival and betrayal. The pacing has a nice back-and-forth, giving you moments to breathe before the tension ramps up again. The atmosphere is thick with distrust and desperation, a hallmark of the genre. Practical effects add a rawness that digital just can't capture, and the performances are solid, with some standout moments that really highlight the emotional stakes. It’s that classic tale of revenge but layered with the complexities of friendship gone wrong. Definitely a film worth discussing over drinks.
