I kept avoiding this movie in my recommendations for a couple of years because, for some reason, I thought it was some kind of political drama. Far from it! It’s a crime documentary, and a pretty funny one.
The movie was directed by Tiller Russell, who clearly enjoys stories about criminals with charm. Before this one he made The Seven Five, a documentary about corrupt New York cops, and he went on to make The Last Narc, Night Stalker, Silk Road, and Waco: American Apocalypse.
