Streaming on Netflix right now! Check it out, right now! This is one of the best hidden gems I have seen in a while! I had serious low expectations, mainly because I really don't like Elijah Wood and it looks like a campy kind of throw away. I should have known better because this one is awesome. It is very tongue in cheek, dark humor with a good pace and some very dry comedy. With humor referencing movies such as Napoleon Dynamite and other indie films, then throwing in some real drama and some serious gore. The acting was excellent and each character was completely believable showing a controlled pace and fun disposition. Centered about a depressed woman who is completely fed up with people in this world. She is robbed and takes on a new purpose in life to track down the thieves and feel alive again. She teams up with an unlikely partner who lives down the street and they begin the detective work. They end up encountering douche bags, thugs, elite upper class, and idiots only to be a little over their head in the game. This is a great movie that you really should enjoy, its worth the watch!
FYI: The Trans Am used in this movie is actually the directors car that he bought to restore.
