Matt Roush says...
As if this exhilarating crime caper had become a nature documentary, a voice-over narrator informs us that a tiger, “known for its cunning and strategic mind … is most dangerous when cornered.” The tiger in question is Dot Lyon (the marvelous Juno Temple), formerly Nadine, and she demonstrates her resilience and resourcefulness once again when her mother-in-law, debt collector Lorraine (the equally hilarious Jennifer Jason Leigh), tries to have her committed. There’s no keeping this Lyon down, not when her vulnerable husband (David Rysdahl) is also in danger, after Dot’s vengeful ex, Sheriff Roy (Jon Hamm), pivots to a “Plan B” when Dot proves to be such an elusive target. Mayhem ensues, but the real pleasure here is in scenes like the first meeting of Roy and Lorraine, the season’s most mendacious antagonists. “Is it just the money or have you always been this high and mighty?” Roy wonders. Couldn’t it be both?
