Review of We Still Steal the Old Way

I can't really say I enjoyed this film. It just seemed a bit tired. A thin plot about old villains, aging gangsters and scripted vendettas no one remembers or at the very least has no interest in remembering. When one of the character actors asks: Why are we here? I found myself asking the same question: Why am I here watching this film?

I get the idea of one last kick at the can for the Archer gang but the writing and execution must be on point. "We still steal the old way" is neither.

I wanted something that would take me down memory lane, I wanted a nostalgic feel to this film but instead I was spoon fed cliché lines by flat actors who looked like they needed a nap.

On top of all this the story just didn't pull me in. I found myself watching with one eye on the screen and another on my watch wondering when I was going to see the end credits scrolling past me.

Not the most horrible film I've seen but far from the best. I recommended a weekend watch, perhaps on a Saturday afternoon around nap time. It will certainly lull you to sleep even with the so called "action" sequences.

Although very different genres, last year's AbFab feature film is far more interesting and entertaining.
