The Maiden Heist (2009)
Infrequent violence
| Director: | Peter Hewitt |
| Actors: | Christopher Walken, Joseph Mckenna, Wynn Everett, Marcia Gay Harden, Morgan Freeman, William H. Macy |
It was a stroke of genius. But now the perfect crime is turning into a perfect disaster in this madcap comedy featuring Academy Award winners Morgan Freeman (Best Supporting Actor, Million Dollar Baby, 2004), Christopher Walken (Best Supporting Actor, The Deer Hunter, 1978), Marcia Gay Harden (Best Supporting Actress, Pollock, 2000) and Academy Award nominee William H. Macy (Best Supporting Actor, Fargo, 1996). Charles, Roger and George are the very picture of honest security guards. But when they learn their favourite artworks are being sent to another museum, they concoct a plan to switch the real masterpieces with fakes. All goes well until a mistake forces these first-time thieves into a last-minute escapade in the comedy caper that proves youre never too old to have some new fun.

Ok movie with good acting, light comedy without real surprise nor big laugh. Entertaining enough to keep you interested if you really have nothing else to do. Kind of Sunday afternoon movie.

Good movie, good performance from Freeman, Walken and others. Not a side-splitting comedy but not drama either. It had funny moments along with some poignant ones - you had to feel for the security guards but still .....

I have to agree with Janine - not really a comedy but also not really a drama - Very funny in parts. An interesting story line although also predicable in parts but also very enjoyable

This was a really nice movie, much better than I expected. Not really a comedy but not a drama either. The cast was excellent, great original story with a wonderful ending. We loved it.

geniunely an easy comedy to watch. If you like the more detailed type 'heist' movies, probably not your thing then, but humorous moments. great cast , could have taken this movie to a higher level for ratings. A good night in, watching this one.
