The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Frankie stumbles on a stash of cash and finds himself way in over his head during the course of one sordid evening filled with greed, lust and violence. The stolen money creates friction between Frankie and his girlfriend Ellie while Frankie must deal with school, his job and the true crooks on his tail.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
