The movie is based on true story (book is called Finders Keepers). Having read the book, I was interested in seeing this one. The book's tone was that of a light comedy.
**Possible Spoiler** Dumb crooks do stupid things which is why they get caught.
The scenery is South Philly - so you may be reminded a lot of Rocky or Invinciable. I guess it's hard to make a poor dumb guy down on his luck comedic. If the screenwriter had been able to pull it off, it would have been a much better movie. As it is, it's just OK.
The difference between this and a caper movie is the suspense that leads up to the crime. Here, it's just an accident. And believe me, the wrong guy was at the wrong place at the wrong time. The IMDb rating is accurate - somewhere between a five or six, depending on your mood or how much you like John Cusack.
