    I had the pleasure of seeing this movie last night. It's quite good. It's actually a very well played robbery/heist story with piano service holding it together. And "Tuner" is just the nickname of the main character. I really appreciated and enjoyed the parts that involved actual service, and even more so, they way the main character reacts and relates to his customers in all the different environments he is called to work in. Much of what he says to his customers is very close to what I say to my customers so the writers did their research. The only tuning that he provides in the film is limited to perhaps a final touch up of a unison, and that's pretty much as deep as it gets, technically. The robbery sequences got quite intense at times, and were well done and fun. One thing I especially appreciated is that it was not a Steinway product placement film. In fact I don't think a Steinway is anywhere in the film except when it is casually mentioned at the very end. I recommend it because it's well done, entertaining and the tuning/tech sequences spoke my language. 

    Here is the trailer...
