Robert Pattinson (The Lighthouse) sheds his Twilight teen-heartthrob image well and truly in this hypnotic crime thriller from celebrated filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie
After a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, Constantine “Connie” Nikas (Pattinson) embarks on a twisted odyssey through the city’s underworld in an increasingly desperate - and dangerous - attempt to get his brother Nick (Benny Safdie) out of jail. Over the course of one adrenalised night, Connie finds himself on a mad descent into violence and mayhem as he races against the clock to save his brother and himself, knowing their lives hang in the balance.
