Saw it. laughed. Went home. thought about it a little. Then it left my mind. Fun movie, but nothing that will change cinema.

I think that is what it set out to do, like most movies. Besides, it didn't leave your mind, you took the time to look it up on IMDb and put in your word.

Good point wildmedia, Plus I didn't realize this movie even had any hype at all, I watched the movie and I have to be honest as a movie about pulling off a heist this wouldn't make a top10.

I would not say this film is masterpiece, but it is a very decent "small" film.

Filmed pretty much on a single location (or at least that's what it's made to look like), great soundtrack, solid acting, funny dialogue and the story really works (no huge goofs or irrational plots which you often find).

If I find it on DVD I will certainly buy it.

I was very surprised by this movie, especially that it didn't get a US release. It was better than some of his other movies (Bulletproof Monk comes to mind).

I guess the studio decided not to spend $10 million to advertize something that they knew wouldn't make that much in theaters.

Great "simple entertainment" film to watch on the tele.. probably was a good film to guzzle beer or eat popcorn, too, when it ran... Much better than most.

Don't see what people thought was cheesy, except for the title, obviously - that was WAY wrong )))

The Russian translation called it the equivalent of "Insane Heist", and that made way more sense...

What hype? It went straight to DVD in the US didn't it? I'd never even heard of it until I saw it on TV.

Never heard of this movie before I saw Seans face on the cover on the DVD, and thought that yeah, I like his style of comic timing so I grabbed it in a deal of 3 movies for 18 euros.
And I wasn't let down. The movie is clearly worth that price. Its far from a masterpiece, but it entertains you all the way through with both fast pacing, good laugh and nice women to look at once in a while as well. :)

Some might find me morally challenged or morally ambigious. I prefer morally creative.
