A broke and frustrated IT technician (Kyla Frye, who co-wrote this with Sam Benjamin, who plays her love interest of sorts) goes on a one-woman heist stealing data worth millions on the black market. Then she meets a charming con artist (Benjamin) who wants to take her money all for himself. Or her heart. Maybe both. There’s also the villainous Gates (Simon Callow) who has put the whole scheme together and might just take everything from both of them.
The Pay Day may not make you forget any of the Ocean’s movies, but it’s a fun caper. Callow makes for an intriguing villain and the idea of cyber crime is timely enough to make this stand out.
