“How to Rob” is an American film which is not graphic nor big studio assuaging. Sean Price (Chinaza Uche) and Jimmy Winters (Josh Koopman) are two Quincy, Massachusetts small time hoods robbing small time drug dealers and participants in high stakes card games. They receive tips from bar owner Judge (Kevin Nagle). Their legitimate business is landscaping which only accentuates their small-time hood status. Sean is somewhat of a good crook and Jimmy has a violent streak that lands both of them in deep shit being pursued by two Goodfellah type hitmen for $7,500. One of the hitmen complains the money is rotten but he needs it to take his daughter to Disneyland. Macabre humour.
Friendship and violence might have formed a friendship between Sean and Jimmy but in due course it claims a few bodies and saves one. Beware of Brazilians!
Solid casting and acting all around. A very good indie crime flick. Kevin Nagle has a supporting role but shines with an Irish type streak. Friendly, fatherly until of course the hitman from North Boston pay him a visit transforming the paternalistic character into an Iago with his Brazilian wife! Nagle thoroughly delivers in his supporting role.
“How to Rob” was directed and co-produced by Peter Horgan. It has been acquired by Good Deed Entertainment’s Cranked Up Films for North American rights and Nicely Entertainment for international rights.
RKS 2023 Film Rating 84/100.
