Capers is the original title & it had a few festival showings.
It was properly released for DVD Rentals & Sales, without any theatrical showings in 'multiplexes'.
The screenplay was written by Brett Halsey & the director Julian M.Kheel. They are newcomers. There lack of film-making experience is easily seen.
Three separate groups of 'nincompoops' plan to & do rob a rundown pawnshop at same time on same day. The owner of said pawnshop gave each group a recent hard time. Said owner is a real nasty female (witch spelled with a b).
Under surer hands this could have been a much better comic satire.
The cast is mostly from Television & not that well known, Danny Masterson & Leon (I think he is a rapper) head this rather large cast,
We have seen these character done many times over the years, There are some funny amusing scenes, none really stand out. It is easy to see why it went directly to DVD. Running time is only 85 minutes including credits.
This is another example of a film that belongs on the lower half of a double bill.
Rent this for showing with an other film.
