NEXT WEEK: AMERICAN ANIMALS (15)

DO heist flicks glamorise crime?

In Ocean’s Eleven we were always going to be on the side of the thieves.

After all, the robberies were bold, the soundtrack was thumping and George Clooney had really nice hair.

Things are never so clear cut in real life. No crime is victimless and real-life Robin Hoods are as rare as flawless diamonds.

That’s an issue Brit director Bart Layton tackles head on in THE WEEK AFTER: 8E;PËJ I8K@E>

this engrossing and very tricksy movie about a real and astonishingly idiotic 2004 heist.

Here, Ocean’s Eleven is one of a clutch of films that two bored students rent from Blockbuster while planning to knock off the rare book collection at Kentucky’s Transylvania University.

In their heads, Spencer Reinhard (Dunkirk actor Barry Keoghan) and Warren Lipka (X-Man Evan Peters) are Clooney and Brad Pitt.

And as we watch them as they prepare for the heist, the soundtrack and sharp editing seem to back them up.

But Layton begins to let the real world crash into his glossy caper.

As we watch them stake out the library, draw up blueprints and hire old man disguises, he cuts to interviews with the real-life American idiots. Older, wiser, and now ashamed of their deluded younger selves, they can’t even agree on the course of events.

What both men agree on is that it was Reinhard who noticed the slack security at his university.

While guiding students around, librarian Betty Jean Gooch (Ann Dowd) proudly shows him her star attractions – a first edition of Darwin’s On The Origin Of Species and a copy of John James Audubon’s Birds Of America.

Out drinking with the unhinged Lipka, a failing student on a sports scholarship, he reveals how the librarian was the only person guarding the books. The real Reinhard says he was just shooting the breeze, but the real Lipka remembers being invited in on a robbery.

The librarian is the one detail that troubles them. In Hollywood romps, thieves don’t have to zap innocent old dears with Tasers.

In this zippy, stylish and wildly original heist movie, crime fantasies have very real consequences.
