A Crooked Somebody

It's always nice when a movie with little to no buzz sneaks up on you like this one did for me.

A Crooked Somebody is smarter than the usual thriller.

Sommer, who did fine supporting work on TV's "Mad Men," doesn't prove a distinctive or charismatic enough presence to carry an entire film, especially one as uneven as this.

While poking fun at a broad target, this thriller maintains a moderate level of suspense before falling apart in the convoluted final act.
