Review of American Animals (2018) by Jswriteman — 06 Jun 2018
This is a serviceable and quite possibly thoughtful film that blends documentary and conventional movie "heist." No doubt about the plot outcomes, even if you do not know anything about the "score," going in.
And the filmmakers are willing to make the leads the object of fun and pity in equal parts. When the inevitable finally occurs, in just a few short strokes, the terror/reality of a federal felony arrest is accurately portrayed.
If you are looking for pure entertainment, go for it. If it is insights that you want, you might look elsewhere. A law enforcement person watching this film laughed out loud throughout the screening and had the best time.
She didn't know the case but she knew the drill.
