A relentless, breakneck, candy-colored chase through the heart of Queens and Nassau County, the Safdies’ long, dark night of the soul thriller follows ne’er-do-well punk grifter “Connie” Nikas (Robert Pattinson) as he scrambles to spring brother Nick (Benny Safdie) from the clink after a bank job gone awry, finding himself embroiled in one botched scheme after another in the course of a sleepless night that takes him to sugar mama Jennifer Jason Leigh, through an Adventureland dark ride, and to the limits of endurance. A mesmerizing, frantic performance by Pattinson, in a harrowing work of bridge-and-tunnel psychedelia.
