Mark Reviews "Welcome to Collinwood"

This movie's a couple years old now, starring Sam Rockwell as an amateur boxer who gets brought in as a melinski for Luis Guzman's character Cosimo; only to con Cosimo out of his Bellini.

Catch all that? Didn't think so... but don't worry, I am a kind and gentle person and will explain- melinski is a fall guy. Cosimo is arrested for attempted Grand Theft Auto, while inside he hears of the perfect crime from a "lifer" (if you can't figure that one out... i'm sorry there's no hope for you). His perfect crime, where no one will get hurt, it'll be easy as pie, and the take will be over $300,000... his bellini.

Now that you're caught up on the vocab, what did I think? Absolutely, loved it. Sam Rockwell does what he does best. Playing a fastign takling, lovable con-man. What surprised me is how he truly was acting the con-man part, and doing it much better than he did in Matchstick Men. Also making an appearance is William H Macy also doing what he did best by playing a quirky lovable retired (not by choice) camera man attempting to get his wife out of prison who spends majority of the movie with a baby strapped to his chest. Also is Danny Ocean himself George Clooney playing the handicapped safe cracker. While his part is small, it displays Clooney's ability to play up comedy, and not take himself too seriously.

The story follows a rag tag team of theifs planning to execute Cosimo's bellini, and hitting several road blocks on the way. I don't really know how to explain the characters, because they have elements of the typical heist movie, while as always with Macy and Rockwell characters they remain human. Overall, you'll feel like your watching Snatch only with more humor and less violence.
