Gotta love the independent movie.

Great crime drama about a young woman who gets involved in the world of credit card cheating. Lead actress Aubrey Plaza is great as a desperate college student who wants to pay off all her debts.

We experience a true character development in the film, Emily slowly changes into a woman who stands strong and does not just give up and acts hard. The story has depth, very well written especially the main characters. Theo Rossi best known for playing in Sons of Anarchy is very good as Yousef, a likeable young man who trains Emily in the credit card cheating world and falls in love with her. The film has intense nail-biting scenes, an example of which is when Emily goes to buy a car, and she only has eight minutes to spare or they find out she hasn't paid. Aubrey knows very well how to look in those nervous situations.

The film's ending leaves you with a sense of satisfaction that Emily The Criminal is one of the best movies of this year.

Like Pazmaster, I only know Aubrey Plaza from comedies. In this film she has to tap from a different keg. She does so with gusto as the assertive young woman who gradually gets sucked into the world of credit card fraud. A smooth film with a nice pace, a believable story and the charming Aubrey Plaza in top form. Well done.

Emily [Aubrey Plaza] is determined to pay off her $70,000 student loan, but partly due to a drink-driving conviction, she's unable to land a job that will pay off her debt. She comes into contact with Youcef [Theo Rossi] through the internet, who offers her the opportunity to earn some quick money as a 'dummy shopper'. She soon has a chance to earn bigger sums, but the lure of big money forces Emily to survive in a world where only the strongest, the brightest and the boldest survive. Again an excellent role by the versatile Plaza who continues to keep the viewer's sympathy, even when she goes deeper and deeper into the world of crime.
