Sure, the premise is intriguing—a desperate family man robs a pill mill, drawing the wrath of the mafia—but the execution feels a bit lackluster at times. The sheriff's character, played with intensity, tries to keep the peace, yet the pacing slows down in parts, making it hard to stay fully engaged.
