So they doing rip offs then send all the people in the same place all at once and all going to the same van. :joy:

I think you need more than 2grand for stealing a damn car.

This guy just shows this random girl the ropes after meeting her twice. Really!!? How has these criminals not been caught yet lol

So you plan to rob someone and what just stick around and think he will let it go? And inassumed he would stay because he wants to buy those properties. I guess he could just go to South America with her after but i doubt it.

“You’re a bad influence” if i had a dollar for the amount of women I’ve told that to lol

And as criminals always do [spoiler]get caught because they dont know when to stop. All it will take now is a cop with an obsession and figure out theres someone in that part of south America doing the same Cc scams [/spoiler] :man_facepalming_tone3: thought she would have [spoiler]enough cash to just chill for the rest of her life in a cheaper country like that with is dollars is definitely possible. Get a normal job like an artist maybe? [/spoiler]

All in all great movie. I am bias when it comes to Aubrey Plaza so take my opinion to be a little skewed lol.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/other-films-watched-spoiler-free-review-sundance/#emily

"Emily the Criminal boasts two phenomenal performances from Aubrey Plaza and Theo Rossi, but its by-the-numbers crime-thriller narrative lacks sufficiently creative ideas to make it more than just an average viewing.

The actress proves her immense talent once again, but it's actually the actor who surprises in a more grounded role that breaks many stereotypes related to this particular type of character.

A good ending may leave the audience with an opinion more positive than what the film warrants, but it's admittedly entertaining and interesting enough... for a home release."

**Emily the Criminal's intriguing story and committed performance from Aubrey Plaza brought great high notes, but slow sections and a sad conclusion added some low notes.**

Emily the Criminal chronicles a woman's impossible struggle to find work and survive with the insurmountable burden of her criminal record standing in the way. Eventually, honest employment seems impossible, so she turns to a more lucrative but more illegal method of income. Her path to success in the credit card fraud racket was interesting, with all the dangers of her new work and the pressure of avoiding getting caught. Unfortunately, the plot's pacing ebbed and flowed between long sections of an engaging and exciting story and long sections of slower, less interesting content. The title's meaning transformed as the movie progressed and the characters developed, but the final moments just saddened me. The character growth came at the expense of others and kept me from being able to cheer for where everything ended.

Solid film, very cool to see Aubrey Plaza in more serious roles (I'm mostly familiar with her through *Parks and Rec*). Ending didn't really give me the resolution I was looking for, however, and mirroring the way Emily started (except now in South America) felt a little too easy from a storytelling point of view.

Aubrey Plaza is very good in 'Emily the Criminal'.

I've predominantly seen her in comedic roles, so it's good to see her act in something thriller-ly. I enjoyed her performance from beginning to end, no complaints whatsoever. Theo Rossi also puts in a strong performance, while the rest of the cast are solid.

It's an entertaing story, one that wraps up in a different way to what I would've predicted - but that's not a bad thing. Elsewhere, the music is decent - even if one bit of the score sounds straight out of 2011's 'Drive'. The run time is pleasantly short to boot. Rewatchable, in a word.
