Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

pepe4u22 I found this a terrific little movie with terrific performances. The movie is about three pals who plan out crimes and this comes to the attention of a crime lord who forces them to go through with the crime. The movie narrative is sharp and on point but what makes this movie great is the chemistry amongst the leads and the movies pace is terrific. I think the female lead is the most powerful performer she has a great look and a wonderful presence on screen. Ryan Reynolds give one of his better performances while the bad guy has a nasty evil to him. I have watched this movie a couple of times and it never fails to keep me watching plus the ending has to be watched closely ala the usual suspects. Just sit back and enjoy for this movie is worth the watch.

merklekranz The presence of usually dependable Ryan Reynolds might suck you into renting, or worse buying, "Foolproof". Unfortunately after watching it, the only conclusion one can draw is that Ryan Reynolds didn't read the script. He is totally out of his element here as a wannabe hi-tech thief. There is zero character development, an unbelievable premise, and everything, and I mean everything, about "Foolproof" is unbearably contrived. In addition there are other annoyances, including an abrasive soundtrack, and headache inducing split screens. I have seen cartoons that had more substance. Unbelievably contrived nonsense.....BEWARE... - MERK

alex-c-3 Recently, I have seen this film, which is great combination of action and crime. Much better than Oceans 11 and 12...This movie also has one of the best actors working today. Yea, Ryan Reynolds, who also did a great performance on this one too. this film showed he could play in action stories, with his humor always presented in a right direction.The most valuable thing in this movie is it's plot. Kevin,Sam and Rob are three smart, young thieves and they have plan how to steal some diamonds from a high security building. But, much experienced criminal, Leo, steals it first with the assist of Kevin planes and blackmails them...The twist is really fantastic, when it turns out that Rob is on their side, after all...Highly recommendable, for all you good action kind a people.

movieman_kev Sadly writer/director William Phillips must have felt the need to take the name of the film to heart in every literal way as the movie, about three friends who find themselves getting in over their heads after someone steals their bank heist plans, feels the need to hold the audiences hand every single step of the way, explaining everything that happens in the movie and thus dumbing it down exponentially. Foolproofing it as it were. Because of this the film feels a bit too long. Other than that and the fact that David Suchet took a role that seemed tailor made for Bob Hoskins, the film while never good in the conventional connotation of the word, is still serviceable enough for a rainy afternoon with nothing better to do. None of the actors (or actress) embarrasses themselves in the film (although Kristin comes VERY close), and the fun factor of it overcompensates for the convolutedness of it all.My Grade: C+
