Truffatori in erba

This movie is definitely better than the 6.0 rating here.

This movie was pretty good. I did not have much expectation do to the ratings and some of the reviews. It was a fun movie, with comedy and action all in one. David Oyelowo was great as Harold. All in all good movie to relax and eat popcorn.

Read the review by "scattershooting" to get the gist of the movie. I just want to add, that while I don't disagree with the review, I want to encourage you to see the film. it is well written and acted and you'll have a good time. it's a movie after all. it's not a sin to aim too high.

Joel Edgerton (Warrior, Zero Dark Thirty and Bright) always brings his A-game, Charlize Theron is money in heels all the way to the bank... But it's David Oyelowo who steals this show. It's listed as an action, comedy, crime... There's plenty of crime and a fair amount of action, but it is dark comedy, so don't expect it to be side-splittingly hilarious... The humour is in Oyelowo's reactions to his increasingly outlandish situations... Also Sharlto Copley helps out a bit in that department, as a well-intentioned mercenary. Amanda Seyfried (Sunny), and Thandie Newton are also reliable back-up in any movie venture, and hold their own in supporting roles here. Dialogue flows smoothly, and is particularly good between certain characters. Camera work is competent, as are all the other elements to make this an interesting fish-out-of-water caper that is easy to watch. It seems it has been largely overlooked though, and that's a shame, 'cause it's a strong 6 in my book.

Let's start by saying that this is a dark comedy. Reading some of the worse reviews I get a sense that maybe they have missed this. The movie is thoroughly enjoyable, not one single weak actor in the cast and all performing well. Hat's off to Charlize Theoron, she is already one of my favourite actresses and has further cemented my opinion of her here.

Watch Harold, a victim of circumstance, muddle his was through his seemingly disaster filled life, all whilst trying to do the right thing, while others want to take advantage. Highly recommend this movie
