cosimo ( luis guzman ) end up in prison for car burglary and there he give the plan for the perfect heist from a lifer in prison while so he have to get out of jail and fast . he tell his girlfriend rosalind ( patricia clarkson ) to find a man who will do his time in prison for some money . but no one want to do the time for cosimo crime and yet everybody seem to know a guy who will do that . soon bad boxer pero mahalovic ( sam rockwell ) found out the detail of this so called perfect job . first of all and i think this movie be very funny and from my point of view i would recommend it to everyone . this movie be remake of italian comedy i soliti ignoti . i do not watch the italian original so i can not judge or compare those two movie . but welcome to collinwood be great comedy for itself and about four people try to rob the money from the vault in one house . everyone give their part of brilliance from this movie cast . really excellent movie for these actor represent sam rockwell and william h. macy ( great ) and isaiah washington and michael jeter ( great ) and luis guzmán and patricia clarkson and jennifer esposito and finally george clooney give their share in this project . maybe to say that this movie be only comedy and isn not fair . this be more then that . because of one difference . all of thief in this movie have very small wish when they be ask represent what will they do with their money . it be mostly secure their future in very humble way . this fact go beyond comedy into the soul of that criminal . and not only them but also cop babitch and who be present like corrupt one while so here director russo present u fact that criminal and cop be the same . actually all in collinwood be while and not only in collinwood and cause all people chase money and on legal or illegal way . i do not like all movie be audience eventually like and cheer for thief . but and this one be exception . you have to love them all . riley with his little baby and wife in jail . toto with his pant . cosimo with his line represent your mother a whore . and all others . they be just like character in my favorite comic and alan ford . they all try to make some money and but simply they be out of luck . but they all do one good deed represent they give money to riley and so he can get his wife out of prison . they be all hero in my eye and cause lot of honest people wouldn not do that .
