DOWSE Guide to the
Movies
Oscar winner Kevin Spacey plays a wily Irish bank robber in this engaging but
ultimately lacklustre, lotto funded crime thriller. There are moments, albeit very
brief ones, when Spacey's den of thieves reminded me of The Italian Job (at
one point they boldly steal gold bullion from a jewellery factory) yet, with doggedly
persistent policemen on their trail, and priceless Caravaggio art pinched from
gallery walls by Spacey's daring gang, there's also shades the Hollywood caper movie.
This is the problem with Ordinary Decent Criminal; it's simply incoherent as
comedy or drama. Jeff Young
