This is a comedic crime drama told in reverse order. Andy Sikes (Rainn Wilson) is a fugitive from the law. His brother Zeke Sikes (Benjamin Walker) is the sheriff. Kyle Walker (Ron Livingston) and Kurt Biltmore (Rob Corddry) are FBI agents. Andy is supposed to be involved with Ed Burton (Wyatt Russell) in a crime.
This is interesting but it's not hitting at a top level in any one element. I like the idea of reverse order but one thing I notice is the day of the week title card. It needs to be the day of the month which allows for an easier countdown effect. The trick of the premise should be the guilt or innocence of Andy. That goes out the window real quick. The story telling becomes muddled with the reverse order. As for the comedy, they have the cast for it but it doesn't always connect. It seems to be trying for The Big Lebowski but this filmmaker Oren Uziel is not quite at the Coen brothers level. He's done some good work as a writer but this is his only directing credit. He definitely does not have the cinematic style of a Coen brothers movie. This is an interesting attempt although the filmmaker is not quite up to the task.
