a5c7b9f00b The film opens with 4 tuxedo clad men showing up at a penitentiary to meet a friend who has just been released after three years in prison and is going straight from the jail to marry his girl friend. En route to the wedding, one of the men asks to stop by a bank to pick up some cash. As it turns out, he is a wanted bank robber who uses Shakespeare passages during his robberies and thus has become known&quot;Hamlet&quot;. Soon all five men are caught up in the bank and involved in the robberythey end up in a hostage situation. The hostage negotiator shows up who turns out to be Hamlet&#39;s father. As the men are all known to those being robbed, this quirky comedy takes a left turntheir hostages all work to support the men. It&#39;s a great movie. I enjoyed all 1&#39;30 of the movie, but enjoyed does not match this movie. It&#39;s more complicated and more beautiful than you thought at the beginning of the movie. Real drama which clarifies who and what is the best man. All personages are actually live people with their own life and feelings. In my opinion, it gets more Shakespeare than &quot;Shakespeare in love&quot; &gt; I rented this movie because…well to be honest it was to see Drew Barrymore, but I got much more out of it than just that. The story was beautifully written and played out. This movie shows the definition of true friendship. It&#39;s nice to see a film where everyone is not out to protect themselves, but to keep the people they care about under safety&#39;s wing.<br/><br/>The acting was all around nice. No really outstanding performances, but certainly no one who demeaned the film and the performances of others. The ensemble acting is so strong the characters are likeable without being annoying, and aside from the odd corny line which servesa reminder of the movie's stupidity, if taken at face value it becomes a fair enough yarn with bundles of energy.
