    Offbeat psychological thriller with a great cast and a simple premise concerning money and greed and the hare-brained scheme it hatches as it all unfolds on the fly (or bee) it seems:) The title character is interesting and Melissa Leo continues to do great work. The weakness is in the writing, for it unfolds insanely comedic-style into something almost laughable. But then again, the motivation here is money and who hasn't heard of--and laughed at--dumb criminals? For that reason alone this movie is worth a rental, and some (like me) will cherish it more for what it could have been rather than as a finished work...sigh.

    This movie was weird, but to be honest I really liked it. So if you like strange and twisted movies this is the one for you! Beware of the craziness people will do for $$$$$

    This is a ridiculous and depressing movie. The storyline isn't credible, and the acting isn't that great. I wouldn't recommend it.
