Review: Gimme the Loot (Adam Leon, 2013)
Gimme the Loot won the Grand Jury Prize at SXSW in 2012 and
writer/director Adam Leon was nominated for Best First Feature and the
Someone to Watch Award at the 2013 Independent Spirit Awards. These
worthy accolades have just been the beginning, as this authentic,
energetic and small-scale caper comedy has continued to win over
audiences. Branded with it’s own language it has current appeal and is
sure to please at this year’s Possible Worlds Festival.
In this NYC-set story of two teens who face repeated foils in their
determined pursuit of a unique experience – exerting revenge against a
rival graffiti gang by tagging a landmark at the New York Mets stadium –
the success rests on Leon’s verite style, street-smart writing, and the
natural chemistry between the impressive leads. They share an
impeccable rapport, their increasing desperation resulting in a series
of unexpected events that contribute to this taut, wholesomely endearing
and joyously entertaining adventure.
