Looks pretty cool right? Well, as I said,Flypaperhad its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and not only was I there, Peter was there too, along with a slew of other bloggers. And while many did reviews, there’s a reason why didn’t you hear aboutFlypaperhere. Because when you see over 30 good movies in 10 days, it’s not fun to write about the bad ones. Yeah, I’m sorry, butFlypaperis bad. Derivative, boring and devoid of energy. I’d say more but its been six months since I saw it and I don’t even remember much about it. Here’s the plot description:
Tripp Kennedy ambles into a bank near closing time, just as two different gangs unwittingly converge to rob it. A shoot-out erupts, and Tripp tackles the smart, beautiful teller, Kaitlin to protect her. When the bank’s security system locks down the building and seals everyone inside, the night evolves into a hilarious game of cat and mouse. As Tripp and Kaitlin try to save the day and escape being killed, they might also need to avoid falling in love…
Oh yeah, that’s right. I mean, if you are really into whodunit heist movies likeOcean’s Eleventhere are certainly worse movies thanFlypaper, but there are much, much better ones too.
