Review:

I don’t know whether I liked the uniqueness of its plot (how often do we see heist movies that aren’t about the heist?) the wonderfully diverse characters (Kevin Kline’s overacting completely steals any scene he’s in) or just the complete and utter absurdity of it all. A stand out gem that keeps getting better the further in.
