    In an era saturated with heist thrillers, Culprits is one of the good ones: smart, exciting and very, well, slick.

    All in all, it’s fast-paced and flashy, and it feels emotionally honest, at least in the characterization of the two romantic leads who form the heart of the story. Does it completely revolutionize the heist-show formula? Of course not. But there is enough style and substance for it to leave a strong impression.

    Though the ultimate prize at the end turns out to be a disappointment, the journey to get there is still one to watch. Culprits never plays its full hand, not even with David, creating an unreliable narrator for a modern age where neither technology can be trusted nor the ones you love the most.

    Culprits may not have made an entirely clean getaway, but it still largely delivered a fun contemporary caper.
