The Ladykillers
“The greatest criminal minds of all time have finally met their match.”
ComedyCrimeThriller
An eccentric, if not charming Southern professor and his crew pose as a band in order to rob a casino, all under the nose of his unsuspecting landlord – a sharp old woman.
VIBE
This film feels like a peculiar, sun-drenched Southern fable, where a band of eccentric criminals finds their meticulously planned heist hilariously derailed by an indomitable old woman. It's a darkly comedic ride, brimming with quirky characters and a wry sense of humor that revels in the absurdities of human folly and unexpected comeuppance.
