Current Events > Just watched American Animals, a meh movie about a real life art heist

(+) Yeah! (+)

It has Quicksilver and that druid from eternals who controls minds or whatever. 4 guys in a university in Pennsylvania see art that's not really guarded besides an old lady librarian and the art collection is worth millions and they decide to steal it.

The movie makes a big deal about how it's not based on a true story, it IS a true story. With apparently real life talking heads of the actual 4 boys who attempted the robbery interspersed throughout the movie.

Didn't care for the movie much, it was boring and the characters were unsympathetic even if that was the intention making it uninteresting.

I will say that it's a good thing the movie doesn't glorify heists or these guys, who hurt the old lady librarian and you see how dark it is and uncomfortable. They all got caught and served... just 7 years in prison.

I usually don't trust critic reviews on rt, but I was shocked that the audience score was just as high, and it seemed to get overwhelming praise on reddit
