The story of three friends who decide to go off on an adventure. Not too bad a flick, and quite the contrast from the normal crime spree movies I am used to. Three friends, one a coward, one an idiot and one just too damn nice for his own good run off on the crime of the century which turns into "Americas Dumbest criminals". The story was pretty good and the characters were pretty well thought out. The movie just didnt have enough force for me. James Caan (Sonny from the Godfather!) has a great cameo though. The DVD is Dolby Digital 5.1 and 16x9 enhanced. No real extras, but still a nice disc. Overall I cant really recommend this one. It will kill two hours, but other than that you dont walk away with much.
