the classiness of the ensemble enriches an affable but unremarkable caper, but the real selling point is the casting of Olivia Cooke, who brings vast quantities of charisma to her role as a master manipulator of menfolk
it features a strong lead performance from Olivia Cooke as Pixie, the step-daughter of a smalltime gangster in the west of Ireland; Cooke really is terrific, easily carrying the movie with her swallowed-a-lightbulb screen presence
"Pixie" works fine as a picturesque comic romp, but a B-movie bloodbath this shamelessly shallow should never make the mistake of taking itself seriously
