Two small time crooks, Mike and Troy, are on a mission - the 'score' - that they both expect will transform their circumstances. At a roadside café, as they wait for the handover, Troy falls in love with the waitress, Gloria, and begins to question his life choices. But it may be too late to change because, unbeknownst to him, Mike has brought him here to kill him.

The film is besotted by its own cleverness. The overwrought dialogue clashes with the rest of the movie’s naturalism. But Smyth’s very point is that ordinary folk have the right to strive for poetry — and his shaggy sincerity wins out in the end. With this promising ditty as his debut feature, the filmmaker introduces himself as a voice to be heard.

The execution is novel, fascinating and just musically/romantically entertaining enough to not totally muck up the suspense that’s built in.
