In early-1970s Massachusetts, a taciturn family man, James, secretly plots to steal art from a sleepy suburban museum while the nation rages over the Vietnam War. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks. The film’s naturalism and remarkable period detail create a portrait of authenticity and psychological mystery. Reinventing the heist drama, this action drama brings political conflict and existential comedy into the finely observed details of crime and escape.
