Charming Criminals

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2006)

From the scene in the diner,discussing 'Like A Virgin' and tipping waiters and waitresses.You just know you are watching some different,different and better.
The fact there are so few characters makes it so much easier to pick and choose who you like,which obviously,is a good thing to get that involved with a film.
The film revolves around a team of strangers pulling off a diamond heist.
This is where Harvey Keitel comes into his own,forget City of Industry(which I'm not knocking).This is where Harvey shows how convincing he is.
Even Tim Roth,who turns out to be not what he seems,delivers another role with such deliberation it's amazing.The chemistry between the 2 is near-unbeatable.
That said,I have to praise the other characters for fantastic jobs.Steve Buscemi as the freaked out but sensible Mr Pink,Michael Madsen as the psychotic ear-hacking Mr Blonde and the late Chris Penn as the 'boss' so to speak,Nice Guy Eddie.
I love this film,so should you Enjoy The Film Sean
