This film takes place in the dust bowl in 30s Texas and the drama is at least that dry. Finn Cole plays a young man frustrated with his small town life and intrigued by crime stories. Enter a beautiful bank robber (Margo Robbie) who seduces him into helping her. While both of the performances are compelling, the overwrought script and deadly pacing can’t elevate this above mediocre romance drama. The excitement of a crime spree never materializes, leaving us with dashed expectations.
