After 'Extraction' comes another crime thriller that's based on a graphic novel, 'The Last Days of American Crime.'

Here's what we know about the film so far.
Release date
'The Last Days of American Crime' releases on June 5 on Netflix.
Plot
The official synopsis reads: "As a final response to terrorism and crime, the US government plans to broadcast a signal making it impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts. Graham Bricke (Édgar Ramírez), a career criminal who was never able to hit the big score, teams up with famous gangster progeny Kevin Cash (Michael Pitt) and black-market hacker Shelby Dupree (Anna Brewster) to commit the heist of the century and the last crime in American history before the signal goes off."

Trailer
The two-minute trailer features enough action and violence. It opens with a monologue that states, "The World is in Chaos." Crime and unlawful acts rule the streets and a signal that jams people from committing crimes. The rest of the clip sees the trio of Bricke, Cash and Dupree commit one heck of a heist. The question is will they?
