The Last Days of American Crime

In 2024, the U.S. government prepares to activate the American Peace Initiative (API) signal, a "synaptic blocker" that will prevent the population from breaking the law. Graham Bricke, a career criminal played by Edgar Ramírez, leads a crew of bank robbers, including his brother Rory, who begins a prison sentence. As the signal's nationwide deployment approaches, Bricke's crew becomes embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game with the law, featuring Anna Brewster, Michael Pitt, Sharlto Copley, and Patrick Bergin. The film's violent content and depictions of police brutality coincide with the George Floyd protests, adding to its negative reception.
