I Liked It

I didn’t expect a lot coming into this film because I haven’t heard much about it so I was surprised that it held my interest from beginning to end. I was actually interested in the characters and their motivations, the actors’ portrayal of their roles, and the mysteries that the story had to offer. I thought Demi Moore was really good because she was able to play a smart, elegant woman who had a lot of things to hide behind her body movements and eyes. As for the caper aspect, it’s not as explosive fun as the “Ocean’s” saga; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. Although different because of its observant attitude, it managed to find its own footing regarding its tone and pace. There was no slow moment, just constant build-ups–which I admired. I thought the explanation regarding the heist was smart and surprising. I’m definitely recommending this film to people who are already sick of summer flicks or to those that just want to watch something that is humble and rewarding.
