A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL COME THROUGH THAT PAWN SHOP DOOR... When a double crossed deal between dirty police detectives (Ty Slater, Kevin Moriarty) and ruthless drug enforcers (Dave Curry, Chris Curry) goes awry, a struggling addict musician (Rich Ledoux) finds himself in possession of the sole item that can put an end to the out-of-control, bloody feud... So naturally he heads down to the local pawn shop to score a few bucks off it! After the problematic item becomes stuck within the shops secure walls, the two pawnbrokers (Steve Drake, Josh Williams) must fight to survive before a bombardment of violence strikes! Can everyone survive when all three storylines come crashing down on the small town hock shop?

Critics & Reviews
3 featuredI walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.
A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
