...MEANS TROUBLE!

Out of prison after a five-year stretch, jewel thief Tony turns down a quick job his friend Jo offers him, until he discovers that his old girlfriend Mado has become the lover of local gangster Pierre Grutter during Tony's absence. Expanding a minor smash-and-grab into a full-scale jewel heist, Tony and his crew appear to get away clean, but their actions after the job is completed threaten the lives of everyone involved.

Reviews:

  • Justice Webb
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Santana Bridges
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Rene Navarro
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.

    Absolutely hilarious! The humor was spot on, and the comedic timing was perfect.

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.
