A seamstress gets tangled in her own thread after stealing a briefcase from a drug deal gone bad. In an escalating game of cat and mouse, her different choices lead to drastically different outcomes along the way.


This film was a little bit more unexpected, though it came recommended. I tried my best to go into it blind. All I know is it had to do with knitting and some kind of crime caper. Both of which are true though the way they match together is very intricate.

It starts off slow, but then becomes a kind of choose your own adventure tale where it’s based on the main characters decision and we see her faith based on each of these decisions. So that it might remind some of RUN LOLA RUN. it is noticeably different and the way that it plays

The film does have a quirk factor, that at times threatens to overcome the material, but luckily because of that when violence or the story turns dark though not Unexpected it does provide a little bit of shock for the audience.

This is one of those kind of cute Indie films that shows a lot of spirit and ingenuity, even if it does come off at times a little too clean, cut and polite, considering the material involved.

Though it shouldn’t disappoint any audience members, as it is, a cleverly designed film that by the end does feel inspired. Especially as a captivating thriller.

Though for all its ingenuity, it just feels like it should’ve had a stronger hold on the audience and make you feel something as it comes off as an appetizer or rather light meal that looks bigger than it actually is, but you don’t quite feel full by the end.

Grade: B-
