· Life of Crime · by Daniel Schechter                    ☼ online event

A couple of dimwitted criminals abduct the wife of a wealthy man and then demand a ransom. The husband is confused at first as he gets the call while he’s far away on vacation – with his mistress. She takes over the negotiations, which makes the situation even more complicated. More unexpected twists arise that may remind the viewer of Coen brothers’ films, albeit with the sardonic humor more subdued. The action leads to a weird and surprisingly satisfying conclusion.
