America is a country in which the complexity of the truth runs so contradictory to clichés that it can always seem revolutionary just by being itself. What Barney Rostaing has achieved here is something so free of clichés about minorities, women, and privileged men that we are continually startled by his authority and insight. In the process, he almost reinvents the heist tale as a commentary on contemporary life as it is actually lived.
