Reviews:

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.

**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 21st Century Underworld Crime Film Shot With Strong Influence of Michael Mann and Heavyweight Performances by Plaza and Rossi
This film runs at a tight hour and a half. It is not a breathless thriller but a film that gives you room to breathe and absorb your surroundings of gritty Los Angeles and the goings on that maybe most in the vicinity are not even aware of.

This is a tale of loneliness and desperation. One of a ticking clock in a life that has increasingly fading ambition and looming, seemingly never-shrinking, never-ending debt.

Left alone, what choices would we make if given an opportunity of little risk but great and immediate reward?

In addition to the monster roles of Aubrey Plaza and Theo Rossi, there before our eyes is Gina Gershon.

Gina Gershon in a small, but impactful part, setting the screen ablaze if not but for a brief moment. But it is a delightful moment, nonetheless.

Director. John Patton Ford brings L. A. crime to life, as only Michael Mann did generations ago. Ford is a new force in film and you will leave eager to see his future projects (please, don’t be a comic book or Star Wars film!) Two incredible actors, one legendary cameo, and a talented director with a bright future in storytelling.

This movie will not rob you of your time.

“You will earn 200 dollars in the next hour. BUT you do have to do something illegal”.
Cant pay the bills? Here is a story about a woman who found a quick (but illegal) solution to all her money problems.

The good: This is a really solid and impressive directing AND writing debut, with a terrific leading role by Aubrey Plaza. It’s true to life, bleak, gripping, suspenseful and dramatic. Excellent photography, editing, soundtrack, the works.

Any bad?

My only (minor) criticism would be that the VIOLENT character of Aubrey Plaza isnt 100% believable. Aubrey Plaza is a wonderfully gifted actress and she can play coldhearted characters well, but this time around she does not only play someone who turns to crime, she also turns to extreme violence. And I must say that Aubrey Plaza just does not come across to me as someone who has it in her to be extremely violent as a character.

Therefore the biggest problem I have with this movie is with the writing of the leading character of this story. But perhaps many folks wont mind this at all. And as far as the dialogues are concerned, they are excellently written.

More bad: the first half hour there is a great slow build up in tension and suspense, but halfway through, this story looses momentum and suspense. There is a small romantic part (15 minutes) in the middle, which feels a bit superfluous.

The final is thrilling and dramatic again though, so please do have the patience to watch this movie untill the end, because it is one of the better true to life movies I have seen recently.

Thank you for reading my 1700th review for Imdb! Enjoy the movies!
