Righteous Thieves

#MondayMovies

As other reviewers have said, why was tis movie even made? The title, cool images, and even the opening music told me I was in for a fun movie. 10 minutes later I was logging in to read the plot and reviews just to see if I was watching the movie I thought I was watching. So this <40 year old is the leader of a secret organization and capable of acquiring financial support. Also very capable of sensual appeal and knows where to find a good hair and nail salon. The movie could have been a 40 minute television show, ala. It Takes a Thief or one of the several other shows from the 70s. The crew are all enjoyable, the tech is good, the ease with which things are done is expected and the outcome is very weak.

Imagine every possible cinema cliché smashed together with amateur writing, gimmicky effects and bellow average directing. From explosions that look like keyed out greenscreen motion graphics just thrown onto some footage to cringeworthy "hacking scenes" I spent more time laughing at this film than enjoying the story, it's a serious movie with a serious storyline but fails to give any backstory or further information on the characters involved, we almost just get thrown into heist scenes with no real motive for anything? I struggle to connect with the characters or what the greater mission is. Watch this film for a quick cringeworthy laugh but it's a highschool experimental film level movie. I think the writer's idea was well intentioned and it really could've been a great film, if only the execution was better 🙁

Until the opening credits ended. Dreadful accents, cliche upon cliche, all with that B-Movie look. I don't quite know what it is, but you recognize it immediately. Somebody who really shouldn't have tried to make a movie. What a waste. Of time, effort, money. Whatever. It's a good premise too. We still don't know where all that looted art went. If indeed it went anywhere. South America? Private collections? Swiss Bank vaults? Such a shame. If only someone had told this director to just STOP. I felt it was my duty to warn you. To spare you. I'll never get those minutes back. Please DON'T watch this.
