I’m still… processing… this one.

The credits rolled, and I just felt a little cheated. Like there were too many miracle solutions, god-out-of-a-box answers… Ocean’s Eleven just seemed to fit better…

But by the time I got to typing this, I’d thought about it enough to realise that it really does all fit. Perfectly. I can’t even say anything more without spoiling it, but what I will say is this: Don’t see this film once. See it twice. Then talk about it.

That said, there are definitely a few problems with the script. There’s an unexpected (double?) cameo partway through which is amusing for a moment, but quickly drags on and completely wrecked –for me– the disbelief-suspension of the film.

It just doesn’t seem to have quite the same class and style as Eleven, or flow, really. But I was still impressed. Worth seeing.
