Movie Review<\/p>\n
As many as 4.7 million people ride New York\u2019s subway system every day. Like fish, those people swim through train\u2019s sliding doors\u2014bags in hand, packs on back, eyes on phone\u2014on their way to countless destinations: a museum, a park, their homes, their jobs.<\/p>\n
But for some, that ride on the subway is their job. With deft fingers and a slight jostle, they make a pocket a little lighter\u2014and a subway stranger\u2019s day much, much worse.<\/p>\n
Pickpockets don\u2019t get performance reviews. But if Harry did, he\u2019d receive high marks. He\u2019s been at the business for decades now, and his fingers have only grown faster, his technique more refined. The subway is his prime hunting ground, but he\u2019s not particular: He can\u2019t afford to be. He\u2019ll strike on the street, in a parking lot, in a corner diner if the opportunity presents itself.<\/p>\n
Then, when the working day is done, Harry will pick up Rosie\u2014his beloved, catatonic wife\u2014carry her up the stairs, squeeze her dinner into her IV. And, if the bills are especially tight, he\u2019ll pay the neighbor across the hall to listen for anything amiss in Rosie\u2019s world. And then Harry will head out for a second shift.<\/p>\n
And so it goes. Every day, every night, he lifts and pockets wallets, watches and smartphones he can\u2019t use. He sells what he can, throws away the rest and moves on.<\/p>\n
Until one night, Harry steals from the wrong guy.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s a kid, really\u2014a Gen Z player with a baggy coat and vintage car. Harry strikes up a conversation, swipes the guy\u2019s wallet and sticks a penny in the door handle (an old trick to keep the door from locking). Then, when the kid is guzzling down trendy TikTok drinks with his buddies in the bar, Harry goes back, opens the door and swipes the man\u2019s gym bag.<\/p>\n
Inside that bag he finds a watch worth 15K stuffed in a running shoe, a fancy, credit card-shaped USB drive (though Harry wouldn\u2019t recognize it) and a gun.<\/p>\n
He pockets the watch, keeps the drive (why, he\u2019s not sure) and tosses the rest. He doesn\u2019t want any trouble with a piece-packing kid.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s too late. The trouble has begun. That kid\u2014Dylan\u2014belongs to the sort of family you never, ever steal from. And Dylan wants\u2014no, he needs\u2014that USB back. <\/p>\n
And a comatose, helpless wife? Why, that might be just the leverage that Dylan can use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Movie Review As many as 4.7 million people ride New York\u2019s subway system every day.
