Review of The Square

The Square (2008)
6/10
Criminal Stupidity
11 May 2011
A lot of people who commit crimes are caught because they are stupid. Many others get away with crime. The folks in this movie fall into the first group. In this sense, the movie is frustrating, because you want to yell at the characters - don't do that! How can you be so stupid!

I won't give away the ending, but I thought it was rather complicated and convoluted. I thought the acting was solid, little bit slow in some parts, but that accentuates the action. The moral of the story is pretty clear - suburbanites do not make good criminals. If you're going to be a bad guy, you have to be all in. Oh, and it pays to watch CSI before committing crimes. At least you'll have some ideas of what not to do.

A good video/rental movie. Not the best of its genre, but certainly not the worst.
