    Its Boring Nature Is Undeniable
    Another film in the long list of boring hype films these past years, Shoplifters has an undeniable power to put you into deep slumber.

    Just fast forward to the adult club scene.

    FAQ3

    • What do the finger gestures mean which the shoplifters exchange before actually stealing something? Is it meant as an incantation of the gods to help stealing? Or a gesture like crossing your fingers behind your back when you tell a lie, asking for forgiveness? Or informing your partner that the shop owner doesn't watch? Or is it an exercise to keep your fingers smooth?
