Screen chemistry and production crackle are lacking from this "Usual Suspects" wannabe.

In this suspenseful neo-noir, Sheldon Kasner, a bank loan manager, is accused by the mafia of stealing two million dollars. When the mobsters come to collect, he seeks refuge within an ancient Jewish burial society to steal a dead body and fake his own death.

What are critics saying?
Though hardly a major work, The Burial Society has going for it something that many of the snickering noir comedies currently littering the field lack. Underneath its cheeky amorality, there beats a heart.
The appeal of The Burial Society lays in its unusual and obscure take on an otherwise mundane tale of greed, treachery and double-cross.
The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
This non-secular variation on "The Usual Suspects" falls prey to a creeping structural rigor mortis that sets in early.
