This may be a perfectly acceptable movie, but the title leads me to doubt. Columbus Day? You don’t name a movie after a holiday unless you’re trying to glom onto that holiday’s mojo. Hence, we get a lot of movies about Christmas -- that’s a holiday with mucho mojo. It’s why we don’t really see many movies about Arbor Day: trees are awesome, but even a movie about the death of the last tree on a dying global-warminged up planet would have to be called something like Arboreal Apocalypse. Or maybe Arbor Day: The Reckoning. But just Arbor Day wouldn’t cut it.

Yet here we have Columbus Day:

After the heist of his life, a thief hides out in a city park as he plans to strike a deal and unload the stolen goods. There, he begins as unusual friendship with a precocious boy, prompting him to reach out via phone to his ex-wife and estranged daughter, who he hopes will reunite with him now that he is about to be rich. As his business deal begins to unravel, he fights to keep the kid out of harm's way and escape to Florida to join up with his family.
