A grounded heist film.
From a director who has primarily directed documentaries, American Animals is a brave effort taking cues from I, Tony to get its story across while adding its own unique twist to the formula. The story is interesting and a very grounded take on heist genre which has been largely dominated with nuanced plans and thrilling scenes. The amount and the value of the books is not a joking matter here in too, yet the idealism of the students and their ridiculous plan has been set up in a fine way. Using the real life conspirators of the crime to actually discuss their personal take during the moment is a gem of an idea and the director's touch for documentaries... |
