It's beautiful because each detail of the plan is carried out by a specialist and then the specialist in question is dealt with. It simplifies itself as it progresses.<BR/><BR/>What Mr. Placebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093396076092185332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500770951941454679.post-12988661886277689112009-03-01T16:52:00.000-06:002009-03-01T16:52:00.000-06:00how about inside man? it's definitely the coolest ...how about inside man? it's definitely the coolest one other than oceans elevenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500770951941454679.post-19010785410046290472009-03-01T14:43:00.000-06:002009-03-01T14:43:00.000-06:00another one to the hostage movies, take family mem...another one to the hostage movies, take family member of bank employee hostage and walk into bank and steal money. can't remember the name of the film but it was decent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500770951941454679.post-75574636873354470352009-03-01T13:02:00.000-06:002009-03-01T13:02:00.000-06:00And then there's THE ITALIAN JOB (the new one).
