EXPLAINED: Johnny flynn on his musical crime noir - The Real Truth

Johnny Flynn in "The Score" Gravitas Ventures

The mercurial actor-musician Johnny Flynn — recently seen in "The Outfit," and who currently appears as Ian Fleming in Netflix's "Operation Mincemeat" — costars and composed the songs for the novel musical crime film, "The Score."

Flynn plays Mike, who along with Troy (Will Poulter), his best mate's younger brother, is hoping to make a score (find some stashed cash) at a roadside diner where the film largely takes place. However, as the contacts are delayed, Troy finds himself attracted to Gloria (Naomi Ackie) — much to Mike's chagrin. Flynn's character is all snark and cynicism, and the actor make his contempt towards Troy, as well as everyone from a gas station attendant, to Gloria, and the diner's few other customers, palpable (and sometimes justified).
