A review from that guy named David:

Welcome to Collinwood
Grade C+

This movie was produced by Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney, stars William Macy (Fargo), Sam Rockwell (The Green Mile; Confessions of a Dangerous Mind), Luis Guzman (Boogie Nights), and a host of other exceptional character actors (with Clooney also making brief cameos), so my thought was that the movie would be a bit off-the-wall, witty, well-acted, and provide a couple of hours of entertainment. I was wrong. The plot revolves around a group of hapless thieves who find out about a "can't miss" break-in at a jewelry store. As to be expected, however, the job turns out to be much more difficult than expected and,... well,... you see where this is all heading. The acting was impressive, but the story was weak. Highlights of the movie were the performances put in by Macy and Rockwell. However, the storyline developed into predictable, unnecessarily slapstick humor that left me thinking that they wasted an opportunity to utilize some of the great talent that was assembled for the movie.
