Title: Not Noel Coward indeed! Scary.
Review: This is a wonderfully constructed caper movie that will creep you out.Did Ocean's 11 creep you out? Did Ocean's 12? Or The Italian Job? Caper movies are not scary: plan the heist, get the jewels, escape from the police, party.This movie will frighten you because Ben Kingsley plays a demonic sicko. (Really I want to use stronger language.) And he does it brilliantly. He says in the commentary that one of the young sassy actors was very respectful to him -- and to no one else in the cast. But Ben, you have BECOME a world-class blood-thirsty psycho. Kingsley was so convincing, he convinced other actors.This movie has it all: a tropical paradise, romance, a twisted plot, a big heist, a nutjob thief. What more could ask of a caper picture?It's just plan terrific and Americans won't need a Cockney-American dictionary to understand it as if it were a Guy Ritchie flick.
