About This Movie

Johnny Quinlan, played with a blend of desperation and humor, finds himself in over his head as a mob bag man, which sets the stage for a darkly amusing exploration of survival. The pacing is refreshingly erratic, mirroring the chaotic life of the characters. The performances carry a rawness that feels authentic, especially the tension between Johnny and his eccentric family.
