Nice effects though.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Three friends Kevin (Ryan Reynolds), Sam (Kristin Booth) and Rob (Joris Jarsky) play a game they call Foolproof. They plan out every details of a heist without actually doing it. Then somebody actually executed their latest plan. And on top of that, they are blackmailed by the real thief Leo 'The Touch' Gillette (David Suchet).This is a Canadian production trying to play in the big leagues. The biggest problem may have been a lack of A-list talent. Ryan Reynolds is definitely the big star here. Kristin Booth is cute and sassy but she's certainly not a big name. Then there is the writer/director William Phillips. His only previous credits are nothing more than indies. So it's no surprise that this felt more like a B-movie with a bit of money to spend. It's still quite watchable with Ryan having a bit of fun.

Ryan Reynolds, Kristin Booth, Joris Jarsky, Sean Sullivan, and David Suchet star in "Foolproof," a 2003 Canadian film.Reynolds, Booth, and Jarsky play Kevin, Sam, and Rob, who live in Toronto and play a game called Foolproof. They plan robberies. They don't actually steal anything, but it's important to them that the plans are "foolproof" and they actually do try them out. However, they never have loaded guns, there is no violence.When plans for a jewelery warehouse are stolen when Sam is robbed, they panic. Then the warehouse is actually broken into, and they find out the culprit is Leo Gillette (Suchet), a known thief who has never been caught.Leo is rich, he's smooth, and he's determined. The three kids can easily be arrested for the warehouse heist - after all, didn't they have the plans? So what Leo wants in exchange for the plans is for the group to actually rob $20 million in bearer bonds.This is a very engaging film, with young actors who seem to have a lot of chemistry with one another; one truly believes they are friends as they laugh, yell at one another, bicker, and tease. David Suchet is immaculate as Leo, calm and deadly, but this group is something he hadn't quite bargained for."Foolproof" is enjoyable, suspenseful, and moves quickly. Highly recommended. You'll be surprised - it's a small movie, but it pays some big dividends.

The presence of usually dependable Ryan Reynolds might suck you into renting, or worse buying, "Foolproof". Unfortunately after watching it, the only conclusion one can draw is that Ryan Reynolds didn't read the script. He is totally out of his element here as a wannabe hi-tech thief. There is zero character development, an unbelievable premise, and everything, and I mean everything, about "Foolproof" is unbearably contrived. In addition there are other annoyances, including an abrasive soundtrack, and headache inducing split screens. I have seen cartoons that had more substance. Unbelievably contrived nonsense.....BEWARE... - MERK

Recently, I have seen this film, which is great combination of action and crime. Much better than Oceans 11 and 12...This movie also has one of the best actors working today. Yea, Ryan Reynolds, who also did a great performance on this one too. this film showed he could play in action stories, with his humor always presented in a right direction.The most valuable thing in this movie is it's plot. Kevin,Sam and Rob are three smart, young thieves and they have plan how to steal some diamonds from a high security building. But, much experienced criminal, Leo, steals it first with the assist of Kevin planes and blackmails them...The twist is really fantastic, when it turns out that Rob is on their side, after all...Highly recommendable, for all you good action kind a people.
