TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Bene Cumb This is one of the movies I tend to like: no major/minor characters, but a real team work; all parts played by memorable distinguishable actors; no really good or really bad characters, no "black-and-white" approaches. At first, the plot was not moving fast, but this was compensated by the really funny burglary procedure when I found myself openly laughing. Unlike most of similar movies, the outcome for the thieves is different. All actors are at least good, if not more, and even George Clooney's looks was ugly. William H. Macy has always been one of my favorites. Recommended to everyone fond of sophisticated crime comedies. But it could have lasted longer than 1'20".

Petri Pelkonen Cosimo (Luis Guzmán) is told in prison about a perfect heist.Since he's behind bars and can't do it himself he has to leave it to his girl Rosalind (Patricia Clarkson).Soon there are five guys organizing the crime- five guys with very little brain capacity.Brothers Anthony and Joe Russo are the directors of Welcome to Collinwood (2002).It's a crime comedy that's often very funny.You can't help but laughing when everything goes wrong with these guys.There are some great actors playing these characters.William H.Macy plays Riley.Isaiah Washington is Leon.Sam Rockwell is Pero.Michael Jeter is Toto.Andy Davoli is Basil.Gabrielle Union plays his love interest Michelle.Jennifer Esposito plays Pero's love interest Carmela.George Clooney (also producer) plays Jerzy, the tattooed guy in a wheelchair.This is a highly entertaining flick.I certainly recommend it.

jeremy3 This movie was a huge disappointment. It was set in Cleveland, and attempted to capture the grittiness and earthiness of this city. However, the movie was far inferior to Buffalo '66 (a successful attempt to capture the gloom of Buffalo, NY). None of the characters were very likable or interesting. They all seemed to be in and out of prison. Even William H. Macy's character was rather dull and one-dimensional. The lack of charisma to the characters completely destroyed an ability to develop any depth to them, in order to send out a societal message. Instead, we just have a bunch of laughable, pathetic characters who aren't very bright. One has no empathy for them or understanding of their failures in life. The characters are so pathetic that they can't even successfully rob a house without destroying it. Basically, one is left with the indelible impression that there is no real point to the movie. One has to guess that the point of the film was that these characters tried so hard to get out of their plights, but in the end failed. But without an in-depth understanding of what made these characters tick, this message was severally compromised. In the end, I felt that it was a movie that one could laugh a little at, but not really feel that it was memorable in any way.

johnny-08 Cosimo (Luis Guzman) ends up in prison for car burglary and there he's given the plan for the perfect heist from a lifer in prison; so he has to get out of jail, fast. He tells his girlfriend Rosalind (Patricia Clarkson) to find a man who will do his time in prison for some money. But no one wants to do the time for Cosimo's crime and yet everybody seems to know a guy who will do that. Soon bad boxer Pero Mahalovic (Sam Rockwell) founds out the details of this so called "perfect job".First of all, I think this movie was very funny and from my point of view I would recommend it to everyone. This movie is remake of Italian comedy "I Soliti Ignoti". I didn't watch the Italian original so I cannot judge or compare those two movies. But "Welcome to Collinwood" is great comedy for itself, about four people trying to rob the money from the vault in one house. Everyone gave their part of brilliance from this movie cast. Really excellent movie for these actors: Sam Rockwell, William H. Macy (great), Isaiah Washington, Michael Jeter (great), Luis Guzmán, Patricia Clarkson, Jennifer Esposito and finally George Clooney gave their share in this project. Maybe to say that this movie is only comedy, isn't fair. This is more then that. Because of one difference. All of thieves in this movie have very small wishes when they are asked: what will they do with their money? It is mostly securing their future in very humble way. This fact goes beyond comedy into the soul of that criminals. And not only them but also cop Babitch, who is presented like corrupted one; so here directors Russo presents us fact that criminals and cop are the same. Actually all in Collinwood are; and not only in Collinwood, cause all people chase money, on legal or illegal way. I don't like all movies were audience eventually likes and cheers for thieves. But, this one is exception. You have to love them all. Riley with his little baby and wife in jail. Toto with his pants. Cosimo with his line: "Your mother's a whore!" and all others. They are just like characters in my favorite comic, Alan Ford. They all trying to make some money, but simply they are out of luck. But they all did one good deed: they gave money to Riley, so he can get his wife out of prison. They are all heroes in my eyes, cause lots of "honest" people wouldn't do that.
