Abi Damaris Corbin directs John Boyega, Michael Kenneth Williams and Nicole Beharie in this true story where a former Marine suffering from PTSD holds a bank hostage when a missed payment leaves him destitute.

Well intentioned but never really picks up any pace. Boyega stretches himself with a dramatic role but the movie’s overall intention is hand wringing mawk rather than satire or tension.
