 ... hooker. I loved her performances in Fargo, Almost Famous, and Blood Simple, and any movie with her in it has got my vote. The lads are all unemployed, and turn to crime as a last resort. Although we are not really sure whether it’s from lack of money, or sheer boredom, that they become burglars. They do have motives, e.g. Sid is getting evicted, and Russ desperately needs to move out of his mum’s house. There are disfunctional families and weird relationships aplenty.
