Misdirection

A desperate couple, deep in debt to the mob, have kept afloat through a string of high-end break-ins, but their latest target turns the tables in an instant. Kevin Lewis stages a vicious game of cat and mouse where the hunters abruptly become the hunted, with Frank Grillo and Olga Kurylenko bringing muscle and menace to a horror-tinged thriller built on sudden reversals.

The pace is sharp and merciless, trading on the gut-drop moment when a robbery becomes a fight for survival. Its mood is tense and predatory, keeping you off balance as the power keeps shifting. Viewers who like lean, brutal thrillers with a nasty edge and a strong sense of poetic comeuppance will find this a tightly wound, adrenaline-spiked watch.
