Haven't Made It Easy

Guns and nudity. Need I say more?

I like what writer/director Sid Kali does . After watching his other movie Consignment I figured I would give this one a go. I was not disappointed. In With Thieves is a B grade movie that deserves to be bumped up to B+. The writing was terrific. I loved the part when a Latino crook goes off about over use of cell phones by people in public. The story goes this crook was shopping for clothes while a woman yells into her cell phone how hot her BF would look in a pair of jeans. The punch line is the BF was two feet away the whole time.

I was impressed with how much was squeezed into this story. Sid Kali did not take the easy way out making a generic movie. The story covers the Albanian Mafia going against a Cuban voodoo cult against a African crime group against American thieves. You have to pay attention, but it's so worth it. If you are easily offended by nudity this movie is not for you. The women are extremely sexy and they all get nude.

I don't understand the reasoning behind a couple of negative comments posted. The movie looked great. Heads and tails above 90% of B grade movies out there.
