The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is pretty much the American dream of get rich quick while ignoring the consequences of your actions. The actual story is great and the choice of cast for this movie were great choices. I can honestly say that I'm not into bank robbery, or heist movies, but this one was really good, in a disastrous kind of way. I love how they incorporate the real life people into this movie, having it pretty much like a confession style of the events that occurred. It's a different but great movie in an underwhelming 2018.

The whole thing was utterly ridiculous, supposedly true but still ridiculous. Four idiots. So many "holes" in the thought process of these four main characters that it's embarrassing to think they actually "walk among us" and believed this heist would have a positive ending. One of the worst movies we've seen this year; we wasted our money and over 2 hrs of our time.

'AMERICAN ANIMALS': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A new crime drama released by MoviePass (the new Netflix of the theaters)! The film tells the true story of a library heist at Transylvania University (in 2004 Lexington, Kentucky). The actual people involved in the crimes narrate the film; while actors Evan Peters, Barry Keoghan, Blake Jenner and Jared Abrahamson play them in flashbacks. The movie was written and directed by Bart Layton, and it's gotten mostly positive reviews from critics. I found it to be really involving and intense, it's definitely an impressive debut from MoviePass Ventures!Warren Lipka and Spencer Reinhard tell their true story (in modern day), about how they conspired to steal expensive Audubon prints, and rare books, from a special collections library at Transylvania University (in Lexington, Kentucky), in 2004. Evan Peters and Barry Keoghan play the pair when they were younger, as the actual criminals narrate the story. They had help (in the heist) form Chas Allen and Eric Borsuk (played by Blake Jenner and Jared Abrahamson, during the narrated scenes). The criminals' family and friends also take part in film interviews, throughout the movie. The film is funny and seemingly light-hearted at times, and at other times it's really intense and shocking. The climax and ending are pure crime drama cinema at it's best. Keoghan and Peters are both good in the leads, and the actual criminals have strong screen presence as well (especially Reinhard). It's a near masterpiece that's definitely worth seeing I'd say. MoviePass Venture's first win!
