Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

merklekranz Definitely low key, with only a nosebleed of violence, this caper movie is both unpredictable and entertaining. Christopher Walken, Cyndi Lauper, along with the entire cast, are excellent. What drives the film into above average territory is tremendous character development. We actually get to know who is pulling the heist, rather than rushing into it. So what you get is a very quiet film with likable characters who you care about. If you are looking for an edge of your seat high tech robbery movie, avoid this. If on the other hand you would like to relax and take time to understand some interesting thieves, seek out "The Opportunists". - MERK

overdone Sorry, but even Christopher Walken was unconvincing in this lazily written thing. I felt compelled to stay because it made me laugh for some odd reason, and not many movies in English come to Rome. During the intermission (a routine Italian thing), a man behind me said: Let's hope things get better for him. I replied: Let's hope things get better for US.Alas, they didn't, for us. I'll leave the plot alone.

George Parker The poker-faced Walken character is at the center of this mildly entertaining look into the life of an insolvent ex-safe cracker. A journeyman film at best, the Walken character seems to care so little about his life that it is difficult for the audience to care as well creating a rift between audience and character and resulting in a story which is about as flat as warm beer.

wrap This movie, reminiscent of 'Palookaville', had the kind of humor that is available to a film that does not set out to be exclusively a comedy. The incidental characters, such as Mort Stein, were well-drawn and memorable.Extremely credible dialog.
