Plastic
Nearly 5 months after its United Kingdom premiere, Plastic finally sees its official North American release. Starring Ed Speleers, Alfie Allen, Will Poulter, Sebastian de Souza and Emma Rigby among others, the forthcoming British action comedy-crime film unfortunately underperformed overseas but Paramount Pictures is hoping the Western audience catches on with unfamiliar faces. Surprisingly, this release is based on a true story about college students who successfully run a credit card scam (see: Boiler Room and The Wolf of Wall Street).
The five friends find themselves in a serious predicament, after stealing from the wrong suitcase of a powerful man in North America and must plan a big heist to save their lives. Late nights of partying with strippers and champagne until the morning may have them behind in their debt, which their lives could seriously be in threat.
