Loosies (2011)
8/10
Great fun with a charming pickpocket on the run
17 June 2023
Peter Facinelli wrote a terrific screenplay here. This is a fast-paced, action packed, wise cracking, romantic crime caper that keeps you rooting for the "bad guy." New York City is utilized to its best advantage here. Tried-&-true metropolis pros lend their talents. Guys like Joe Pantoliano, Michael Madsen, Vincent Gallo, and more, rounding out a terrific cast Jaimie Alexander is perfectly cast in a pivotal role, presenting our boy with a dilemma of conscience, all the while sensing something redeemable, even worthwhile, in our pickpocket protagonist.

Mr. Facinelli's smart & snappy dialog is spot-on for this NYC jaunt loaded with criminals, cops, city streets, cigarettes, and cool.

If you want to watch a movie made for popcorn, that flies by in the blink of an eye, this is the one.
