Emily the Criminal

CrimeDramaMysteryThriller97 min

Locked out of the job market by student debt and a minor record, Aubrey Plaza’s Emily takes a cash-under-the-table job as a dummy shopper, buying expensive goods with stolen credit cards. In Los Angeles, that small hustle pulls her toward Youcef (Theo Rossi), the charismatic middleman supplying the cards, and into a wider black-market economy built on quick transactions and constant risk. As dead-end interviews pile up and the money starts coming faster, Emily stops treating the scam as a stopgap and begins looking for a bigger piece of it.
