Buffaloed (2019)

Blue collar girl and small time hustler Zoey Deutch, decides to get into the telephone debt collecting buisness in her native Buffalo, only to butt heads with less scrupulous debt collectors. While the story is not drawn from an actual incident, it is reminiscent of stylized, Exposé-ish films that are, like 'The Informant' or 'The Big Short'. Solid ensamble cast includes Judy Greer and Jai Courtney, but it's Deutch's energetic  performance that sells and impells this thing. Occasional unevenness is made up for by elements of charm, amongst which is the films continual ribbing of the city of Buffalo, New York. I started this one thinking I might not finish it, but it won me over. ***
