A thief who genuinely means to go straight gets pulled back the moment predatory lenders close their fist around his father, while a determined cop starts working the trail from the other side. The friction is classic crime-drama material, with debt as a form of violence and reform as a luxury, and the long runtime suggests a film that wants room for family, consequence and pursuit rather than only the scores themselves.

Well suited to viewers who like their gangster stories big, emotional and morally loaded, with the law closing in as a slow-tightening counterweight. At 2h 41m expect scale and long stretches of build between the set pieces; this is a sit-down commitment rather than a quick hit. If sprawling crime sagas about men trapped by systems larger than themselves appeal, clear the evening and let it unfold at its own pace.
