Defray

About This Movie

Defray (2024) has a quirky vibe that’s hard to pin down. The chemistry between the two leads is surprisingly engaging, kind of like an off-kilter buddy comedy but with this sharp edge of crime. The pacing wobbles a bit, but it fits the chaotic premise—two women diving into a heist at a hospital. It’s not just about the laughs, though; there's a darker undertone about desperation and debts that gives it some weight. The practical effects during the heist scenes feel grounded, adding to the tension. Performances are lively, and there’s a rawness that makes the absurdity feel almost relatable. Definitely a unique spin on the genre, worth a look for collectors interested in modern indie takes on crime comedies.
