As if to illustrate the hypothetical “So you think you’re having a bad day?,” Canadian thriller “Hammer” puts its characters through a Rube Goldbergian obstacle course of peril in the immediate hours after a hijacked drug deal.

Dad quickly sees through his bloodied, panicked offspring’s jumble of fibs, sussing at least part of the in-progress emergency’s gist.
