A college student has financial woes, and is so desperate he kills a pawnbroker.
This starts off great. The cops immediately suspect he had something to do with it, since he was one of the pawnbroker's customers. The movie does a good job at making you side with the lead character despite his wrong actions, simply because the cops are very intrusive, and pompous. This was a decent thriller and could have had an ending dealing with karma (what goes around comes around). But instead it ends up being a slap in the face to the audience, by giving us a twist ending that came straight out of a fairy tale.
