- Synopsis
- Alex (Steven Molony—The Joker Blogs), a small-time British crook, is trapped in Fargo, North Dakota, where his compulsive spending addiction spirals out of control and sends him on an absurd crime spree. Together with his dim-witted Scottish pal Murphy, Alex tries to support his habit with robberies and home invasions, until one ill-fated caper brings them face-to-face with Teddi, a femme fatale who can get Murphy to do anything she wants. It’s Teddi’s idea to up the boys’ game to kidnapping. But when the trio tries to ransom Penny, a rich attorney’s feisty daughter, you just know that, as Alex says, “This will not end well.”
  Acclaimed by critics as a “punch to the gut crime caper,” this fast-paced crime thriller takes you on a dizzying roller coaster ride of danger, compulsion and depravity. Reminiscent of early works by Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers, Pinching Penny is destined to become a cult classic.
