Flypaper - a movie so simple yet so catchy !!!

Amidst the hype surrounding Tendulkar's 100th ton, the arrival of Sunny Leone on Bigg Boss, two huge let downs of the latest tamil movies, Barney crying in HIMYM, Dexter Morgan trying to get near DDK and so many things, I got time to catch a movie last night and it was totally worth it.

Flypaper :

The cast is not big, the lighting in the movie sucked, or at least the one in the print which I took from the internet. The movie starts with a woman entering a bank and a woman leaving the same. So the director just pulled off an entire movie in a single building.

Patrick Dempsey, known for the cheesy girlie flicks is the lead who has an obsession with numbers walks into a bank to get change and gets trapped between two sets of robbers who come in exactly the same time to rob the bank. Ashley Judd is the female lead and she looks seriously old. The heist goes south when Patrick discovers that a FBI guy has been killed in the middle of the gun fight in the bank and he discovers there is something greater than just a heist going down in the bank.

The rest of the movie reveals which gang succeeds in getting the money with so many twists, I mean there are so frigging many twists. The cast is small yet supportive and clinical. The movie has you engaged till the final frame and that is refreshing.

The movie cannot compared with the classics like Ocean's series in the Heist category but there is a small spark in it that keeps the audience engaging. Patrick delivers big time as he takes the entire movie on his shoulders. 

I would give it 8/10 against imdb's 6.3.
