As
a security guard at Boston’s Art Museum, Roger Barlow (Christopher Walken) is
used to watching the paintings and sculptures all day, but there is one in
particular that’s caught his eye – The Lonely Maiden.
With a thoughtful look in
her eye, the lone subject of the painting intrigues Roger to the point where he
doesn’t go a day without visiting her and he’s not the only one with an
interest in the exhibits.
Fellow
security guards Charles (Morgan Freeman) and George (William H Macy) also have
their favourites, so when they find out the pieces are to be moved to Denmark,
they decide to take matters into their own hands and come up with a plan to
keep the exhibits for their eyes only.
The
premise of this movie excited me, but I was left disappointed as there was no
real action or drama – nothing to keep me gripped or interested. I found it to
be a boring, dry and poorly acted movie with the skills of 3 great actors not
being used to their best ability.
This
movie tried desperately to be a gripping heist story, but it fell way too short
of this ambition.
0
stars – not worth watching.
