Samara Weaving stars as Caroline, a small town grocery worker smarter than her station but just naive enough to believe Oliver (Kyle Gallner), the charming con man who rolls into town, can provide her with a better life. Losing herself in the attraction of Oliver and the adrenaline of bigger and bigger scores, Carolina Caroline starts out as a breezy con movie romance before things start to go wrong and the consequences for the pair’s actions come due.

It’s a more accurate film in honoring the toys and animated series that captured kids’ attention in the 1980s, but is it a better film?
