Somehow, this comedy gem never earned a theatrical release, despite winning the low budget award at Sundance. A decent guy is serving out his drug sentence and has a day job as a locksmith on work release. He is determined to keep his nose clean and not get in any more trouble. He meets a kooky gal, who – despite his resistance – introduces all kinds of chaos into his life. The Locksmith was originally titled Homewrecker.
If it had been released into theaters, I think that this working class comedy would have become a real crowd pleaser. Fortunately, it’s now available from Netflix.
