One of my all time favorites.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
An Exercise In Nonsense
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Well, the robbery / break-in movie genre bores me huge! Here we have all the thematic items: the vault, the team, the sewers, the lock, the escape, the plan, the police, . If I indulge into this, it was because Monica was involved: as usual, her Italian movies are much better than the french ones: here, she speaks a lot, acts like an usual girl and is not immobilized as a beautiful statue as she is used in France! She was rather cool with her jeans, her pullover and doing the sign of cross when she is showered by bank notes! The movie is also funny when it happens that Monica fails her mission to seduce the bank manager because he is gay!! Except this, if you are not particularly fan of Monica, I'm afraid there's nothing else really interesting here!
Nice movie about stealing loads jewelry from the store safe. Monica is as beautiful as ever, simply mesmerizing. Without her the movie wouldn't be worth watching. Anyway there are quite a fair amount of funny scenes and the social commentary about Italian poverty and unemployment is precise. Overall, a likable movie if you like your crime comedies on a light side. Nice ending :-)
