I just picked this up from seeing it was one of the top films on Netflix, and really enjoyed it. As you may expect from the premise, it expands its message to encompass some of the large problems facing America and life as a whole, even while much of the runtime occurs between one large room of a bank, and the parking lot outside.

When I looked up the movie afterwards, I was surprised to see there was apparently a very negative reaction on Rotten Tomatoes - down at 47% on the audience score. Even after reading some of the comments, it seemed hard to identify what causes the reaction. There’s one plot development late in the movie that becomes a bit of a hard sell, but it didn’t take away from the overall emotional tone.
