Synopsis

Kevin, Sam and Rob have an unusual hobby: planning foolproof heists, without intending to actually perform them. The game goes wrong when their latest plan is stolen and carried out. Things get even worse when a mysterious man approaches them with an offer: plan a heist for him, or go to jail. As the clock ticks, they find that the risk might be higher than just their freedom.

sleepwalkertexasranger I'd give it zero, but IMDb won't let me.This is another crappy Canadian film from our so called friends up north who in all this time have not yet learned how to make a movie without our help.Canadians keep hiding behind their weaker dollar and their lack of budget compared to Hollywood films, but this is an $8m film (Canadian dollars, but 2003) and it looks like it was made by some Youtubers.None of the actors, who are presented as some sort of Ocean's 11, know how to use a gun. We are also expected to believe that there are people in their twenties who work real jobs so that they can build fake banks that they could burglarize for fun. They work days and train nights to pull heists, but because they're good Canadians, they'd never actually go through with such a thing.A movie that wants the coolness of robbers and heist gangs but wants the morality and goody-little-two-shoes of Canadians. The director made another stinker in 2010 and seems to have retired from cinema. Good riddance, I say.
pepe4u22 I found this a terrific little movie with terrific performances. The movie is about three pals who plan out crimes and this comes to the attention of a crime lord who forces them to go through with the crime. The movie narrative is sharp and on point but what makes this movie great is the chemistry amongst the leads and the movies pace is terrific. I think the female lead is the most powerful performer she has a great look and a wonderful presence on screen. Ryan Reynolds give one of his better performances while the bad guy has a nasty evil to him. I have watched this movie a couple of times and it never fails to keep me watching plus the ending has to be watched closely ala the usual suspects. Just sit back and enjoy for this movie is worth the watch.
SnoopyStyle Three friends Kevin (Ryan Reynolds), Sam (Kristin Booth) and Rob (Joris Jarsky) play a game they call Foolproof. They plan out every details of a heist without actually doing it. Then somebody actually executed their latest plan. And on top of that, they are blackmailed by the real thief Leo 'The Touch' Gillette (David Suchet).This is a Canadian production trying to play in the big leagues. The biggest problem may have been a lack of A-list talent. Ryan Reynolds is definitely the big star here. Kristin Booth is cute and sassy but she's certainly not a big name. Then there is the writer/director William Phillips. His only previous credits are nothing more than indies. So it's no surprise that this felt more like a B-movie with a bit of money to spend. It's still quite watchable with Ryan having a bit of fun.
sirmixalotmigente i originally got this movie cause I rented Just friends and am a fan of Ryan . FOOLPROOF was recommended to me by blockbuster and i thought lets have a look.This movie is simple pure script no special effects and no artsyvisual effects. The movie is definitely worth a watch and its definitely entertainment for all.The story line is captivating and to be very honest i am a sucker for heist ,robberies and almost any movie pertaining to stealing from the MANThey don't make movies like this nowadayssure wish they did though
