Leo Woodall continues his impressive rise as one of today’s most interesting and talented actors. He plays a piano tuner with a heightened sense of hearing, which can be a problem for him. His gift draws the attention of a criminal gang, who use his talents to crack open safes. You can probably figure out where that takes him. Woodall centers the film with his quietly compelling performance and Dustin Hoffman, as his mentor, brings his personable charms. This is the first narrative film from documentary director Daniel Roher and his assured approach keeps the film involving without any big gangster action (plus a robust final scene). This movie’s focus is fully on the challenges that Woodall’s character faces and it succeeds, thanks to his strong performance. 4.5 out of 5.0 stars
