- TriviaThough this is a film done by Netflix, the film was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and later added to the streaming service lineup.
- GoofsWhen Deidra and Laney rob their first train, they see a police unit stopped at the train crossing as they slowly roll by it. To hide, Laney jumps off the side of the flatcar and Deidra opens the door and gets into the container. The officer sees the light from their flashlight on the side of the container and gets on board the (now stopped) train to investigate. The officer subsequently shines his light on Laney, who is camouflaged among some trackside debris, and then notices the container latch is open, with the security band obviously missing. The officer simply closes and latches the container before getting off of the train. No law enforcement officer who had gotten on board the train to specifically investigate possible criminal activity in this situation would simply just close the latch without opening it to investigate if there were someone inside and stealing from it, which was the reason he got on board in the first place.
- Crazy creditsThere's a mid-credits scene.

A Gem of a Movie
I'm so glad I stumbled across this on Netflix. It was so good. At its heart this is a story about family and what you will do to preserve it. This movie has a lot of soul to it; it's funny and it's moving. It's dramatic and it's somewhat bittersweet.
When mom goes to jail, what are two school age sisters with a younger brother to do? The bills pile up and CPS comes call. Dad's kind of a goofy wreck who claims he's the best dad in the world... when he's not there. The older sister is trying to get her plans together so she can go to college and get out of the little town that's keeping them down. It seems like everything is conspiring to keep these girls as nothings but that all turns around when they start robbing trains.
I appreciated how all the characters were written, they felt really real to me. And as I said before this is a very funny movie. I laughed out loud quite a bit. But it was also touching, if you have siblings you will feel those moments where the sisters conflict or work together. Give it a shot, you won't regret watching it.
