A New Wave
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A New Wave is a 2007 independently-produced comedy about a would-be artist (Andrew Keegan) working in a dead end job as a bank teller. At the urging of his movie-obsessed slacker roommate (John Krasinski), he agrees to be the inside man for a bank heist. While the heist plans are coordinated, the artist’s girlfriend (Lacey Chabert) arranges for him to have his first gallery exhibition. But when he tries to stop the heist, the plan is too far into motion to be halted.
The film was shot in locations throughout Connecticut by first-time director Jason Carvey, with a supporting cast that included character actors William Sadler, Dean Edwards and Thomas Edward Seymour. Reviews for the film were mixed, with Film Threat cheering it as “a deceptive sleeper” [1] while FilmCritic.com complaining it as “a post-modern pastiche of heist flick and comedy, the kind popularized by Reservoir Dogs and knocked off endlessly ever since it was released.” [2]
The film was a direct-to-DVD release, distributed by ThinkFilm. [3]
