Review of Steal

Steal (2002)
5/10
Cut the boring stuff and bring on the stunts...
29 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Recap: A young gang of extreme sports athletes pull off a daring heist in a downtown bank and then shaking the pursuit on inlines. Police have no clues, even when leader Slim flirts with one detective. But they are not finished yet. No. Next heist is an armored transport. Unfortunately for them they get their hands on twenty million in bearer bonds. Twenty million that somebody desperately will want back...

Comments: This is a no-brainer, and that goes two ways. You don't have to think for two seconds when watching this. The one scene, the one moment that is not extremely clear is explained in a flashback just moments later, so hang on. The movie team didn't spend much time working their brains either. All things that explain the progress in the movie, what most people would like to call the story, is conveniently cut out altogether. If you really want to know how the bad guys get their hands on our hero robbers, you will watch in vain. Because that piece might be a little complicated and left out. Actually there are really no words to explain all the time that is between the action-filled heists.

What's left is all the action. And that is not that bad, not bad at all. Nice explosions, nice stunts on inlines, nice stunts with the cars and some really nice stunts with trucks.

So, because I didn't really expect anything else the movie is just what I wanted it to be. An evening of entertainment where I didn't needed to bother my brain.
