This is a dark, very different retelling of the classic Cinderella.
You won't find a nice Fairy Godmother or glass slippers here......death, slavery, abuse, yeah, that's here and you know what? I like it. I like the darkness, the fight that Ella has within her, the fire that she shows. I do feel sorry for her though, from the beginning the odds of a happy, fortunate life were stacked against her and people seemed to just take advantage......big mistake!
Definitely not a sweet fairytale for children. This is for adults with a glass of something strong in hand and a free evening.

Vince Vaughn plays a "planner" for underground crime. He provides plans, schematics, and other assorted information to other criminals so that they can perform crimes while focusing on the legwork portion of the crime. Naturally, everything goes wrong and he becomes a hunted man, as you would expect.
That's when things actually get a little different. Nick's (Vaughn) sole focus becomes making sure his quasi estranged daughter (Haylee Steinfeld) is provided for after his impending death. While accepting his own fate, he will stop at nothing to stay alive long enough for his new life insurance policy to become active, in one week.
Nice little afternoon action flick to burn a couple hours.
