Thick as Theives (1999 R)

   The movie stars Alec Baldwin (30 Rock tv, The Hunt for Red October), Andre Braugher (Homicide tv, City of Angles), Michael Jai White (Black Dynamite), Rebeca De Mornay (Riskey Bussiness, The Hand that Rocks the Cradel), Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek 2009, Pasenger 57), Khandi Alexander (News Radio tv, Rain), and Janeane Garofalo (Mystery Men, Dogma)
   The plot is Baldwin, a theif for hire, is set up to take a fall by White.  They end up getting in the tit or tat retaliation that also drags in an Italian mob boss. 
   Im rating this movie as a B.  If you in the mood for a campy movie that for me is very good.  Campy movies are eather a total hit and a total miss.  This is one that works on all fronts for me. It started from the first scene for me.  It set a very good mood for me.  And as for me you want a good movie you are off to a good start with Braugher and Alexander in it.
   The only thing that did not work for me was DeMornay.  As petty as it sounds I did not like her hair and her charcter seemd one dimentional that was distracting.  She plays a cop.  If the other characters were one dimentional it was not distracting.
   My oppion if you are looking for something on the mindless side (not as serious as Water for Elephants by any means) go and see it.  It wont be up for any Oscars but for what it is, it is very good.
