I lost interest by then, but the woman's daughter was tied up for some reason. |
It could have been a terrible version of Breaking Bad or a weird, non-comedic Fun with Dick and Jane, but they copped out. First they show that she's FORCED to rob banks by the criminals her son owes money to, then---I don't know how much it matters if this is a spoiler---it turns out she was working with the police the whole time to put their operation out of business.
There was a Romanian movie where a school teacher turns to crime to pay off a loan shark. It seemed crazy, but under the circumstances the movie was neutral on whether this was wrong. Now that I think about it, it started with her stealing money from her students, but I think it was to show how pitifully desperate she was, not that she was a monster. [Turns out the movie was Bulgarian, called The Lesson (Urok) and it wasn't clear she stole the kid's money.]
