The film was very sharp, great acting, but the title steers the audience in the wrong direction.

So let's come up with some better titles:

That's the point of the title though, it's ironic, just like this film twists are expectations of what we expect from a typical crime film.

The lead character isn't violent and is placed in a very violent situation, that's the main core of what I liked about the movie.

Thank you! I can't believe how many people didn't get the title and thought it was "misleading". A movie title is not the tag on a can of beans. The point is not to tell you what's inside.

I guess irony is not something most movie-goers get anymore. Not on the nose enough. You have to get the second degree.
