The Russo brothers put together a magnificent cast to portray all the characters in the film. Anything with William H. Macy, Luis Guzman, Sam Rockwell, Patricia Clarkson, the late Michael Jeter, in it, can't be bad. Since this is an ensemble piece all characters get an opportunity in which to shine. This is not a "loose", but a precise, faithful remake of 1958 Monicelli's classic "I Soliti Ignoti" with Toto', Mastroianni, Gassman, Cardinale etc. And that's the reason is good, it copies all the funny characters and the plot, even in details (like the scene where the photographer steals the camera from the local market). A couple of guys want to steal a lot of money from a safe and it is supposed to be easy. The first man for the job was Cosimo (Luis Guzmán) but he is in prison and there tells Pero (Sam Rockwell) all the secrets about the job in a very funny scene. Pero shares the information with Riley (William H. Macy), Leon (Isaiah Washington), Toto (Michael Jeter) and Basil (Andrew Davoli). He doesn't tell this voluntary but he has to, why I will not reveal. Now the planning for the heist can begin. We have George Clooney in a funny cameo as a safe-cracker, and two love interests played by Jennifer Esposito and Gabrielle Union on the way before the actual heist takes place. Watch out for Jeters classic line when he hits a water pipe in the wall near the end.Read full review
