See the films the platforms disagree about most →The lives of two hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in a series of violent and unexpected encounters in Los Angeles. The non-linear narrative follows these characters through separate but connected stories of redemption, chance, and crime, all building toward an inescapable fate.
