Pawn 2013

An allnight diner. A cop walks in on a robbery in progress. But what happens next and what happened just before will change everything you think you know. The building is now surrounded. There are restless fingers on every trigger. And one very intense hostage situation is about to take some extremely shocking twists.

Review

Generally good acting brings an immediate realism to a low budget film that's otherwise unrealistic in certain ways. Despite a few draggy spots PAWN is tense and engrossing with some clever twists. It can be difficult to place who's what in a movie that's this short yet has this big a cast but that's all part of the fun. If viewed carefully PAWN will make pretty good sense in the end.

Particularly good performances by Sean Faris and the three (Michael Chiklis Max Beesley and Cameron Denny) who play the robbers.

Definitely worth seeing if you like crimesuspenseand that sort of thing.
