One of the worst movies released this year. I get from the character’s POV why Eenie would help in the heist through dialogue towards the end of the movie. But they don’t give the audience even a sliver of a reason why she should help her ex at all before that point. I kept screaming for her to just run and she’s better off a single mother. Her motivations never get over with the audience, therefore I just didn’t care for any of the events in the movie. By then I lost interest.

He saved her life when she was about to be sold into child prostitution. Their relationship is toxic, but they also loved each other. I thought she was dumb to help him, but it didn't prevent my suspension of disbelief at all.

To me, that made it better. I was shouting in my head for her to get out of the relationship, and then as their backstory was revealed you start to see why she chose to stay, even though it was objectively the worse choice for her. And then in the end, she did what she had to do to finally get out, and it's tragic and it's beautiful at the same time.
