Thick as Thieves (2008)

[Movie 59 / Day 36]


Morgan Freeman is an old thief who enlists the help of Antonio Banderas for one last heist to pay off the Russian Mafia. Lots of planning later, a few double-crosses and twists, everybody's happy.

It's formulaic, not particularly well written, loads of stupid plot holes (why would a safe that's supposed to be the last word in security allow them to just keep trying passcodes one after the other? Even the ATM won't let you do that), Banderas is starting to look old and has a ridiculously thick accent and a penchant for whispering and Freeman is looking even older and several times looked as though he'd realised the movie was going to be rubbish and just wanted it to be over.

It's just not particularly good, at all.

My rating: 4.6 / 10
IMDB rating: 6.8 / 10
Running time: 104 mins
