When he unwittingly purloins and fences a valuable USB stick, Harry finds himself in a race against time to return the loot or face the rage of a vengeful crime family.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast Sep 17, 2026
At once shrewd and shifty, resilient and resigned, hard-headed and regretful, Turturro delivers a performance as terrific as any in his career. Go to Full Review Derek Smith Slant Magazine Sep 12, 2026
2.5/4
John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, and Giancarlo Esposito all bring a weary soulfulness to the film, helping it cultivate a melancholy tone without tipping into sentimentality. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com Sep 9, 2026
3/4
This wistful story is best when it leans on these people being people: hurt, broken, and imperfect. Turturro shines... Go to Full Review Murjani Rawls Substream Magazine 4 days ago
This film is an ode to the Harrys of the world, much as we romanticize the golden age of newspapers and cassette tapes. Their heyday might be behind them, but they’re never really gone. Go to Full Review Karlie Rogers Exclaim! Sep 21, 2026
7/10
Turturro balances Harry's almost superhuman-like abilities and his more human qualities with a quiet grace, resolution and charm, reminding us we could all use more Turturro in our lives. Go to Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review Sep 18, 2026
