I consider this film to be a dark satire. It's about 5 criminals who use the hospitality of an elderly black lady to mastermind the robbery of a casino. Tom Hanks was very good as GH Dorr, a fancy talking man of many degrees. He sweet talks Ms. Munson and is the brains of the group. His entourage includes the general (whose introduction is funny with the fingers up the nose), the muscle ( a dumb jock), the explosion expert, and an insider at the casino. They meet in Ms. Munson's basement and pretend to play music while they dig the tunnel.
The arguments between them are funny as well as the ways they try to hide the scheme. And the gospel music was entertaining. It added to the film. Since the movie is more of a satire than a comedy, it's not laugh out loud funny, all through I did some; instead it just makes you smile with what they are up to. And once again Tom Hanks plays a great character and was a perfect choice.
FINAL VERDICT: This movie was better than reviews made it out to be when it was in theaters. I recommend it as a good choice if you're looking just for an entertaining film.
