An average movie

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Kim Basinger and Val Kilmer, I still wanted to check it out. While watching this, the first thing I was thinking is that they don't make movies like this anymore. Indeed, nowadays, they produce only massive blockbusters with a 200 million dollars budget or small indie features with a shoe-string budget, nothing in the middle anymore. I mean, don't misunderstand me, it was still a really weak movie anyway. Basically, they went for the most generic heist plot you could think of, using all the known clichés, and decided to have a female main character thinking that it would be enough to make this really original and entertaining. Above all, the whole thing was just really poorly written. Why pretending in the intro that the main character was a guy? Also, the whole gimmick of the master thief coming out of retirement for one last job is really old and boring. As a result, you have to wait about 45 minutes before Kim Basinger does what she was supposed to do from the very beginning. At least, Basinger did look fine but it wasn’t enough to make this movie really interesting. To conclude, it must be one of the weakest heist movies I have ever seen and it is not really worth a look.
