Review of Deidra & Laney Rob a Train

So I had no ideas about this movie before I saw it pop up on recently added in Netflix. I added it to my queue and watched it because Netflix originals usually are quite exciting. It had a few interesting cast members I knew of as well as some I've never heard of. It's only the second film from Sydney Freeland, but it's the first I have heard of. For the writer Shelby Farrell this is her only credit so far. So from the look of things it seems like a comedy. Time to see rather than assume.

Well that was an interesting style of comedy. It was sort of family friendly, but also a little dark in a sense. I like that it heavily deals with how we make assumptions about people and their lives. The acting was pretty good from the lesser known actors. I feel Missi Pyle is becoming typecast though and Tim Blake Nelson was a bit of an oddball. Those are minor feelings though. I thought the stuff with the mother was excellently done. The fact that the family was mixed was an interesting detail that adds some interesting effects to the overall story. The storyline itself was unique and different. It wasn't what I had expected, but the idea was intriguing enough.

It wasn't entirely what I was expecting from it. Though I have to admit that is a good thing. It's not typical and it has it's own agenda. There were bits that get to a deeper meaning for the story. The characters aren't all as you expect. I advise to give this one a chance as you may find yourself surprised.
