Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A would-be comic caper movie from the land of Oz. A wordly-witless but highly inventive simpleton (Friels) persuades his roomers, a laconic ex-con (Hargreaves) and his breasty 'sheila', to make use of his technical talents in a series of remote-controlled heists. If the set pieces don't exactly have you splitting your sides with mirth, the movie does engagingly stay true to its childlike vision, all gadgets and gleeful immorality, more than helped along by the perfectly pitched playing of Friels and Hargreaves.Author: WH
