Bandito (2015)
What a Chance! Way to go!
"...Jamie stows away to join his older brother on a highway truck heist..."
This premise is the Goal. We see Jamie making one foolish decision after the other leading to the brutal ending the audience isn't expecting.
To be fair: It is a Student low or no-Budget film, that looks fantastic(!) but lacks a deeper Story. It should have been at least 5 to ten Minutes longer. Here lies the missed Chance of showing the audience a compelling relationship between the Brothers.
Apart from that: Way to go! What a Twist within the Twist.
