Review of Pawn

Pawn (I) (2013)
7/10
great cast, a lot of twists and an abrupt ending
20 May 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Just when i thought i've seen everything in the crime/thriller genre i ran into Pawn. With Ray Liotta and Forest Whittaker on board it promised at least a decent movie. Well, it was better than that.

A robbery of a diner goes wrong and a villain (Michael Chiklis) and his crew are stuck in a hostage situation. However, this is where the plot actually starts. With several twists Pawn offered some unexpected and original solutions to the plot.

This is not a masterpiece, yet offers good fun. The only complaint i have is about the abrupt ending. As if the producers decided to call it a day and push towards the happy ending.
