A team of thieves' last job is to steal millions of dollars in gold from the home of some guy in Venice. It is never really made clear who this person is and why he has that much gold inside of his house. After the job one of the thieves turns around and steals the gold for himself, killing the leader in the process. Some years later the leader's daughter comes back for revenge by stealing the gold back.
This was one movie I was not expecting to like at all. I was surprised that I was happy that I'd watched it. It wasn't the movie in its entirety that reeled me in. It was all the clever little things. Like realizing that Mos Def was playing a character mostly deaf. Or Lyle insisting that he was the originator of Napster (named as such because he was napping when his roommate stole it from him) and he is very bitter about the idea being stolen from him. Or even half the stuff that comes out of Handsome Rob's mouth. And who would have thought to use souped up Mini Coopers as a getaway cars?
I enjoyed the acting, though it much of the dialogue was stilted and it seemed every scene was just another way of telling you that the thieves where super talented. Good acting with a somewhat deficient script.
Not a bad film, definitely not the best. I enjoyed but I might be a little embarrassed to admit it. Well it'll make a good TV movie at least
