If you like Aubrey Plaza as much as I do, then don’t miss this one — being released next Friday. She stars as a young woman indebted with student loans who decides to gets involved in a credit card scam that pulls her into L.A’s criminal underworld. “Emily the Criminal” was the closest a Sundance movie came this year to reigniting the taut, tense and terrific thrillers of ‘70s American cinema. John Patton Ford’s film had social commentary to spare, but Plaza stole the show as a 30-something woman immensely desperate to escape the chains of capitalism. Ford’s screenplay might be a tad too thin and lacking the audacity to truly ignite greatness, but he does the smartest imaginable with what he has: Uniformly focus his camera on Plaza. [B]
