Watched this on FreeVee and was very impressed. The movie feels like those old heist movies from the 60s yet set in today's modern world.

I was quite drawn to the lead character of Jenn as a young woman struggling in today's financially oriented world. Pressures of student debt and work troubles cloud her future until an especially brilliant Simon Callow calls to offer her a job!

Whilst this setup isn't anything new, this movie seems to really enjoy itself with building the peculiar and yet familiar around the main character as she begins an adventure of conning her way into a building to steal valuable data.

The career criminal is a great addition to things and its fun to see their relationship grow out of the odd settings they find themselves in.

Brilliant watch from a young team of filmmakers on their way up.
