Truly this could have been a great movie, but it just didn't work for me. It had a good cast, good performances, noir music, director of photography/cinematography was ok (quality picture) but no feeling there, no dramatic lightning moments, even the flashback was unoriginal.Especially the shot when the protagonist robs the house, it felt like a documentary. It didn't have the noir feel, overall it felt just too damn cheap! like it was made on a shoestring budget, with investors popping around every five minutes to remind everyone about the deadline.
also the coproducer was romanian, and more than half the crew was romanian.That could explain some things, lack of communication, whatever.

And the action/pacing was rather slow, and this was no artsy noir that justifies that, wich lead to boring moments.

Well I really liked it! Right from the haunting opening titles I was hooked. Great acting and storyline and the little tips Dennis Hopper gives on becoming a supreme burglar ... hmmm ... interesting! Just loved everything about it. Evocative, sad & thought-provoking. Thank you for a great movie experience.

Thanks a lot. Great to see. So glad it worked for you and you've given me a charge as I write my next script.
