The Good: Based on true events. Tight screenplay congruent with attempts at keeping plot grounded in reality. Lack of blaring or opportunistic background score, augmenting the authenticity of the events. Plausible performances especially by McDormand and Buscemi. Veridical characterization bringing out palpable emotions of contempt, anger, frustration, despondency and hustle.

The Mediocre: Underwhelming humor for a crime flick. Lack of investment in character development. Moderately inadequate gore and under-utilization of Stormare's baleful character.

The Bad: Indolent and static camera work. Typical of 20th century movies.

Overall: A recommended movie only if you're a fan of true crime or caper genre. Not for the average desi movie buff.
