This new Netflix exclusive movie is one of the best reviewed films of 2017

If you’re looking for a complete hidden gem, then look no further.

Tramps is a romantic comedy mixed with a heist thriller, and you can check it out on Netflix right now.

The streaming-service exclusive tells the story of Danny (Callum Turner) is an aspiring chef whose hustler brother asks him to complete a job for him.

It all seems simple enough: meet a driver with a briefcase, proceed to a rendez-vous spot and exchange one briefcase for another.

But Danny swaps the wrong bag, sending him and the driver Ellie (Grace Van Patten) on a two-day odyssey through the boroughs and suburbs of New York City.

Critics are calling it one of the best movies of the year – it is currently the 15th best reviewed of 2017 – and here’s some choice quotes:

“Its multiple charms are so sly, the performances so perfectly unflashy, you’ll likely be surprised at how affecting it becomes in its final stages.” – The Playlist

“There’s never a false note in the performances of Callum Turner and Grace Van Patten, who make ideal accomplices for the talented writer-director.” – The Hollywood Reporter

“Leon’s New York has plenty of uncertainty, but it hums with possibility, especially the notion that if you miss one connection, another one’s right around the corner. In that respect, Tramps is beautifully breathless.” – TheWrap
