Plot


Young Ray aspires to be a big-time pickpocket master. He tries to, at a train station, pickpocket a girl named Sandy but she catches on to his lift. While she is chasing after him to get her watch back, her purse and suitcases are stolen. "You're stuck with me" is what she ends up telling him and the two of them search for someone to teach him how to be a better pickpocket. That's how they meet Harry and Casey and start on a whirlwind journey. Can Ray learn what he needs to become a better thief? Will they get caught?





Rating Criteria

0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.

1/5 – Barely worth any time.

2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.

3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.

4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.

5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.


4/5 - *SPOILERS* This is an interesting movie. It gets better when you watch it more than once, in my personal opinion. I thought it was strange that Sandy had a small thing with Harry, whether it is for the advantage that a woman can get over a man or for the heck of it or because she had interest in him. However, at the end, she stuck with Ray. Why? I don't know. Maybe the thing with Harry was just because he was nice to her and she had a thing for him, but unknown.


Harry saw the fall coming at the end of the movie and let the two younger ones free instead of bringing them down with him, which I thought was very kind/great of him.


This is a good movie that I really recommend. You should definitely check it out!



That's my movie review. Thanks for reading! More reviews to come eventually.
