4 | [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino-esque]] thriller from writer/director Aaron Harvey. Bad girls Tes (Creator/MalinAkerman), Kara (Creator/NikkiReed) and Dawn (Creator/DeborahAnnWoll) are hanging out in a Louisiana diner at 3 AM. Their crime boss Mel (Creator/BruceWillis) has instructed them to stop an unauthorized drug hand-off happening on his turf. Guns are drawn, people get shot, Ronny (Creator/ForestWhitaker), a weird hitman, is lurking at the periphery of the action, and things go sideways very quickly. |
