"Caught in the chaos of this grandiose heist are two Lochmill Capital worker bees, Zara (Sophie Turner) and Luke (Archie Madekwe). The crime triggers a sense of paranoia that only grows in Prime Video's six-part series. Zara and Luke soon realize that the theft could have been an inside job the handiwork perhaps of MI, a rogue Lochmill Capital employee. Assigned to set a trap for the suspect is DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Llyod), a strapping guy with a gambling problem."
"That is one of many problems that Zara and Luke go on to dodge, including dead-ends, dead bodies and a drunken mom. The eventual big reveal leaves you with more questions than answers. No matter, this is a tightly wound, decent financial thriller worth a binge. It's made all the more suspenseful for its lead characters' honest and realistic antics. The film doesn't set out to make them heroes and let's them do both dumb and courageous things."
The week’s roundup highlights several streaming releases: Prime Video's Steal, the film version of H is for Hawk, a lukewarm Netflix Agatha Christie series, a crackling Netflix cop thriller starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and a Shudder release that visits unexpected places. Steal centers on an armed, masked heist at Lochmill Capital and follows employees Zara and Luke as paranoia grows and suspicion turns to a possible inside MI employee. DCI Rhys, a strapping detective with a gambling problem, chases leads amid dead ends, bodies and family turmoil. The series rewards binge viewing with taut tension and imperfect protagonists.
