EDITOR’S NOTE: Apologies for how late this is — catching up on so much work!

Hick Dunn (Chase Cargill) is just out of prison, can’t get a job and has promised to make it to his daughter’s birthday even if he has no clue how to make it happen. Soon, he meets Vince Campbell (Heston Horwin) and they form a friendship — as much as one can exist between these two guys — of one ex-con who fights his way out of everything and a con who is out to work everyone.

Starting as a web series in 2021, this is now a full movie, directed by Trevor Stevens and written by Horwin. It feels like a comic book universe that allowed Tarantino and all the 90s neo-noir that cashed in on his success to replace superheroes. With 24 hours to steal a car and take it to New Mexico, this is a buddy film that aims for more than its low-budget origins and succeeds beyond expectation.
