The Ladykillers

Initially, this wasnt even the movie i wanted to watch. But given that it was the only movie available last fri nite, we took a gamble cause the tagline that it was a 'black' comedy (nothing to do with Pootie Tang kinda humour). So firstly, i can really comment much on this movie cause i fell asleep in the middle part whereby the plot starts to unravel itself. Partly it was boring, and partly because i woke up real early that day. And so here's a gist of wat i can grasp from wat my frens told. A bunch of odd-balls, brought together by Professor G.H Dorr (Tom Hanks with stubbles, ruffled hair and a weird laugh) to steal big money from a nearby floating casino. See, i cant even name the members as im not sure. But i remember they each got their own specialty, e.g. bomb making, someone working at the casino to get all the info, brute power. And so Prof Dorr rented a room in a house at a local town owned by an old lady, Marva Munson. From the basement of her house, they were able to access where they put the money at the casino. All they gotta do is to blast thru the rocks. And so they came up with the perfect plan to get to the money. Well they did manage to land their hands on all the moolah, but soon after, evrytin started to go wrong. This is where is starts to get interesting. All i can say is that, in the end, no one got hold of the money cept for the old lady Marva herself.

Yes the plot runs similarly to Ocean's Eleven, just that the ending is a far contrast. I'd have to say this aint the typical silly comedy. More like morbid humour, with intelligent plots and dialogue (sometin u'd expect of the Coen brudders). Watch it if u're feelin highly intelligent and in need of intelligent movie to watch and challenge yourself.
