Thick as Thieves staring Antonio Banderas and Morgan Freeman
Ok, if you're reading this so far, you've probably read my Smokin Ace's 2 review, I followed that movie by watching this one.
And yet.... another..... confusing..... plotline.
Here's my thing, when I watch a movie I'm not really paying attention to the names necessarily, I'm more watching the movie for the movie, so when you get to a plot point where you say "it's not mr x, it's mr y" for example, chances are I have no idea what anyone is talking about.
Laziness on my part? Possibly. So here we go!
Antonio and Morgan are both on a train, Antonio robs some foreign guys, Morgan comments on it, and the chase is on! By chase I mean Antonio is chased by the police.
So Antonio and Morgan teamup to rob a rich russian guy, that's basically the short of the movie.
However, *spoiler* Antonio is an undercover cop hired to catch Morgan who is an expert art thief. BUT WAIT. Morgan knew this and made up the whole heist to screw over Antonio. BUT WAIT, the tables turn again when Antonio and Morgan steal a priceless egg and give it to the rightful owner, but wait! the man they give it to is actually a thief. OH NO!
Confusing right? Right. That's basically what the last half-hour of the movie was, plot twist after plot twist.
It wasn't a bad movie, just confusing, it kept me entertained for like an hour, and if you actually follow the storyline and enjoy those kinds of twisty turney(?) thriller action mysteries, this is totally up your alley.
Overall I'd say rent, if you own Entrapment I feel like you're supposed to have this movie sitting next to it. It's a nice evening movie, or like a movie you watch when you have a few hours to kill, or a plane-ride movie. Yeah, that's it, it's probably playing on a plane right now, and the people are enjoying it, but not too much.
