This is one of the movies I tend to like: no major/minor characters, but a real team work; all parts played by memorable distinguishable actors; no really good or really bad characters, no "black-and-white" approaches. At first, the plot was not moving fast, but this was compensated by the really funny burglary procedure when I found myself openly laughing. Unlike most of similar movies, the outcome for the thieves is different. All actors are at least good, if not more, and even George Clooney's looks was ugly. William H. Macy has always been one of my favorites. Recommended to everyone fond of sophisticated crime comedies. But it could have lasted longer than 1'20".

"Welcome to Collinwood" is about a thief getting the plan for the perfect heist. The trouble is, the thief is in jail, and the crime cannot be carried out until they find a jail replacement. No-one wants to do time for the crime, but everyone seems to know a guy who will - but for a price. A group of 6 friends are soon looking to get their filthy hands on a piece of the action!The directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo create this film in a great way, making you laugh the whole way through. It is a spin on "Ocean's Eleven" (2001), but with double the laughs! The film is made up of Top- Notch performances, making it the funniest comedy of the year!The film features George Clooney as Danny Ocean, a retired US Army soldier, who is an expert at cracking safes. He doesn't feature in the film much, but is performances are amazing as always. Even though his appearances aren't huge, he still plays an important part in the film.The film successfully puts crime and comedy together to create the perfect film. It clearly demonstrates how 2 completely different genres can be added together, and work well. It takes us about half of the film before we fully understand the story and catch on to the humour, but when the film ends you will be laughing hard, and wishing that the humour could have gone on for longer.Overall I would recommend the film to anyone who is into comedies. It is energetically written, and the effort has clearly paid off. It is truly a masterpiece of humour.8/10

Five guys find out from a locked up inmate that there is money to be made from a robbery at an old building....But, things go hilariously wrong for the gang of misfits.The film does take a little while to build up and when it does pick up momentum it never ceases to stop with great comedic timing.The characters are all lovable in their own way, but when combined they create brilliant scenes, were you will be left breathless...The actual robbery itself is just hilarious, as the gang descend on the building, landing in a pool, trying to climb a ladder and losing Toto's pants!Sam Rockwell, however in my opinion; does a fantastic job portraying the individual who really wants the money as he schemes day and night on how to get the job done. The pairing between him and Jennifer Esposito, was just sweet....One comedy crime caper that should not be missed.

Produced by George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh, this little crime caper with some good people in it sounded like an average film, and I had nothing else to do. Basically Cosimo (Luis Guzmán) is arrested for attempted theft of a car, and while in the clink an old guy tells him a perfect heist, the kind of job you only dream of, so he wants to get out of prison quick. He tells his girl Rosalind (Patricia Clarkson), and she spills the beans to a small gang of crooks who will relish the job. These crooks: Pero (Sam Rockwell), Riley (William H. Macy), Toto (Michael Jeter) and Leon (Ghost Ship's Isaiah Washington) plan their raid on the jewellery store and its safe, but of course not everything can go smoothly, so expect plenty of mistakes and near catches during the job. Also starring Andrew 'Andy' Davoli as Basil, Gabrielle Union as Michelle, Jennifer Esposito as Carmela and George Clooney in a little cameo as Jerzy. It is a little boring with loads of chat and made up words, e.g. "Bellini", and it has to be said that the funny moments are really when they actually try to do the job, and fail miserably, but I guess it's okay to see once. Worth watching!
