"Famous last words in any crime chronicle: “After this job, I am out.” When said by Giancarlo Esposito, the terrific character best known as Breaking Bad’s implacable Gus Fring, you know he means it. But fate has other plans for Gracian “Gray” Parish, who thought he’d left the criminal world behind when he started a luxury car service in New Orleans, taking advantage of his prowess behind the wheel. But when an ex-con friend (Skeet Ulrich at his skeeviest) offers Parish’s struggling business a lifeline, asking him to be the wheelman for a heist on behalf of a sinister crime organization led by a Zimbabwean family, he reluctantly agrees. From there, in classic anti-hero fashion, a good man begins to break bad, putting him and his family (Ray Donovan’s Paula Malcomson as his long-suffering wife, mixed-ish star Arica Himmel as his confused daughter) in peril. Derivative for sure, but suspenseful and grounded in another excellent and intense performance from Esposito"
