In with Thieves

I found a few nice actor talents, but nothing that holds the story throughout the entire picture, it's an independent movie alright but the story is so unoriginal that it becomes embarrassing watching sometimes. I understand that the director-writer-producer Sid Kali is a bald young-as filmmaker that hopes to create a some kind of new genre or urban style but i feel it lacks originality, it's so common it doesn't fit the screen, it needs to be seen in reality, i think a live theater play could work if you have the right age and background to back it up, if not, it's just not interesting. I could compare it to watch a school project, if you don't know the person that created the movie (and think that person is interesting) it just not gonna fly...Neva Eva... Maybe i was a little hard on Sid when i gave a 1 of 10 but i felt cheated of my spare time giving the film a go because the overall rating was so high. I just hope no other people gets cheated or misled like i did on the rating..

yes its an indie, script is very ...well sparse.acting so so, i kinda got lost a few times i think some of the actors were miscast IE: jack, and in some ways it was kinda fun to watch less than stella acting people trying to act and me the viewer seeing some hope but a wood-be film company has to work with what it has,but i do think its worth watching never assume you cant learn something even if its how you would do it better, i think there is talent, i would like to know the story behind this movie the director producer etc.i would hazard to guess that this movie would be much better the second time around, a few things i did see though is few camera angles per scene, too many "main"actors would have been better if there were only 3 plays but i applaud this effort i hope this director does more and i know he will improve..( the women looked great!!!!)

I gave it a 2 because this film is painfully amateur. Some of the actors where complete garbage, and the plot lines were totally predictable. The only reason i gave this film a 2 (and im being generous here) is because at heart this film tries to be an entertaining gangster flick, and even if it was so VERY badly made, at times it was entertaining. I do feel as if i've seen all of these plot lines before however, so that coupled with low quality production, bad background music in the film, bad acting (by some) and sub par special effects/visuals all round ensured this movie gets no more than a 2. (and i am being generous here even). Word to the wise here people, avoid this film like it is the beubonic plague.

P.S - the director should get another job, try plumbing maybe i hear there's money in that!!!!

I was feeling this story of an Irish burglar getting out from behind bars to find out his hot wife burned thru all his loot. His good for nothing brother in law left him holding the bag on a huge debt to LA's Albanian mafia. Stuck with nothing he has to try to get back to stealing with his crew to pay off the Albanian mafia boss who is crazy in the head. The soup gets thick with all these thieves and gangsters involved. Not only does this poor sucker have to deal with the Albanian mafia he gets involved with a Cuban drug lords wife and crosses a African crime group. Ending of this blew my mind. There are some really good unknown actors that bring it hard. This is a scrappy movie.

There is a underbelly that threw me off. In with thieves ran to long for my taste. Story can get your brain twisted if you don't pay attention. To much nudity got to me to. I could be crazy but I damn near think every woman in this movie gets naked, I shoulda known watching Sid Kali's last movie skin would be in. No wonder Mr. Skin reviews this high. I gave it a 7 because it had so much in it.

I like what writer/director Sid Kali does . After watching his other movie Consignment I figured I would give this one a go. I was not disappointed. In With Thieves is a B grade movie that deserves to be bumped up to B+. The writing was terrific. I loved the part when a Latino crook goes off about over use of cell phones by people in public. The story goes this crook was shopping for clothes while a woman yells into her cell phone how hot her BF would look in a pair of jeans. The punch line is the BF was two feet away the whole time.

I was impressed with how much was squeezed into this story. Sid Kali did not take the easy way out making a generic movie. The story covers the Albanian Mafia going against a Cuban voodoo cult against a African crime group against American thieves. You have to pay attention, but it's so worth it. If you are easily offended by nudity this movie is not for you. The women are extremely sexy and they all get nude.

I don't understand the reasoning behind a couple of negative comments posted. The movie looked great. Heads and tails above 90% of B grade movies out there.
