Small fry crook Hacker (Christian Thesken) steals a suitcase from his
boss, crime kingpin Vito (Brahm Corstanje) - and before long, he finds
himself running from Vito's hitman Calm (Kyle Hotz), which makes him lose
his calm, and he pretty much hands the suitcase over to the first person
he sees and actually knows, Lynese (Ashlyn Porter). Now Lynese was
presently trying to patch up the friendship with her high school bestie
Amanda (Shalie Hull), and suddenly the two of them find themselves on the
run from Calm. After having shaken him for the moment, they pay a visit to
Foster (Seth Medlin), a guy who knows the scene and who manages to open
the suitcase for them, and it contains a winning lottery ticket. Amanda
and Lynese figure they well deserve the ticket for being shot at and plan
to keep it, but the whole affair gets bigger and bigger, with rivaling
gangsters and the FBI getting involved, and everybody in Vito's gang
apparently trying to double-cross pretty much everyone else, and soon the
girls get sucked deeper into the whole story than even a winning lottery
ticket would suggest - and that leaves one question, how can a lottery
ticket even create such a ruckus ... Now I have to say up
front, Streets of Syndicate, Ohio was obviously made on a very low
budget, and thus one can't really expect perfection on all technical
details. But if you can forgive that, then you're in for a really witty
gangster flick that's structured with the necessary panache to keep the
audience on the edges of their seats throughout, and that features enough
twists and surprises to not go dull for even a minute. And fleshed out
characters delivering poignant dialogue really carry the film and make it
one fun indie ride for sure.
