Blu-ray Review: Pawn

A night shift cop on a routine visit to his favorite diner interrupts a robbery in progress.  And that’s nearly all we can say without giving away key pieces of Pawn, a compelling straight to Blu-ray crime flick from first time director, David A Armstrong.  Pawn contains some attractive elements:  the story is told in anachronic flashback, the setup is deliciously intriguing (what team of professional thieves robs a nearly empty diner at 11:30pm?) and the cast is top shelf.
