Heist movies are fun. There are few things as satisfying in cinema as a well-executed plan coming to fruition, and the thieves that execute said plan making their getaway into the sunset. It’s even better if they’re driving a cool car, and get to do a bunch of cool stunts. Eenie Meanie, the directorial debut of Wayne creator Shawn Simmons, gets this.
The story follows Edie (Samara Weaving), a young woman who formerly drove getaway cars during various heists for crime boss Nico (Andy Garcia), with her boyfriend and partner John (Karl Glausman). She left that world (and John) to go straight, but on a day when everything has gone to shit, she goes to visit John and ends up embroiled in his hairbrained schemes, the result of which is that she has to choose between planning a big heist at a casino or letting John die by cruel and unusual means.
