Review of Steal

Steal (2002)
7/10
A fun mess.
23 July 2007
Let's start with the action. The action sequences had touches of excitement and originality but not enough. Some of the action was so over the top you CAN'T take it seriously. The camera work in some sequences was top notch, while other parts were a little uninspired.

One thing I noticed was the music for this (I presume) low budget film was not bad at all. It seemed to work sometimes but there were times where more low key music would have fit better. So the action and music were done in a slightly above average manner which helped this film greatly.

Most of the characters were likable enough but somewhat annoying at the same time.I got a real kick out of the preacher character for some reason. (He got a lot of the best lines). Not a character to like but funny anyways. The plot was all over the place with to many holes and things not explained well enough. (That "seduction" scene has to be one of the most unbelievable love scenes I've ever seen.) Fast moving and clocking in at 1 hour 17 minutes without the credits helped it's cause as well.

This movie is a small guilty pleasure and one that I decided to keep in my collection.
