this be not a loose and but a precise and faithful remake of 1958 monicelli classic i soliti ignoti with toto and mastroianni and gassman and cardinale etc . and that the reason be good and it copy all the funny character and the plot and even in detail ( like the scene where the photographer steal the camera from the local market ) . i have watch the superb old version many time and i knew by heart all the gang and the end but i still enjoy welcome to collinwood and which have it own freshness and atmosphere . it be interest to see how the life and way of the little thief in 1950 italy be adapt to 2002 usa . thing haven not change much . positive .
