Written by and starring Scott Caan, son of the great James Caan who played Sonny in “The Godfather,” “One Day as a Lion” is a fun, laconic, low-budget ensemble crime comedy wherein everything is highly subject to multiple attacks of Murphy’s Law. Caan wrote a nice part for himself. This is Caan’s fourth produced screenplay.
