Audience Member Has some minor laughs but how could such a talented filmmaker as Louis Malle make a film as unoriginal and tasteless as this? Rating mostly for the talent involved. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Average movie about a bunch of bumbling robbers. Pretty boring with some useless characters.

Trinidad tell him to rig the system so they can rob it. Larry overheard their plan and tell Donald who is sick of been broke and poor, decide to rob the shop as well. He group them all together to plan the heist. Larry befriend a maid Charlayne Woodard who work in a unit at the apartment beside. He is there to recce. Jack bring a salmon to celebrate his mum's 90th birthday. After he lock the door, the heist began and plenty of problems ensures. Causes Donald plan to be behind schedule by several hours. Finally they drill hole in the unit and get down to the store. They were about to blow up the safe when Jack return. His mum passed away.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not good, which is sad to see since there are quite a few well-established actors in front of the camera and a powerhouse director behind it. Crackers tries to be one of these heist comedies, like a smaller scale Ocean's 11, but lacks any sense of wit or style and ends up being just bland and boring. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member not bad but very random and weird.. at times you just turn your head and say whaaa for some parts but seeing wallace shawn this quiet in film is pretty weird itself Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Mediocre production about a group of people conspiring to break in to a safe which happens to belong to a friend of theirs.
