Ryan Reynolds, Kristin Booth, Joris Jarsky, Sean Sullivan, and David Suchet star in "Foolproof," a 2003 Canadian film.
Reynolds, Booth, and Jarsky play Kevin, Sam, and Rob, who live in Toronto and play a game called Foolproof. They plan robberies. They don't actually steal anything, but it's important to them that the plans are "foolproof" and they actually do try them out. However, they never have loaded guns, there is no violence.
When plans for a jewelery warehouse are stolen when Sam is robbed, they panic. Then the warehouse is actually broken into, and they find out the culprit is Leo Gillette (Suchet), a known thief who has never been caught.
Leo is rich, he's smooth, and he's determined. The three kids can easily be arrested for the warehouse heist - after all, didn't they have the plans? So what Leo wants in exchange for the plans is for the group to actually rob $20 million in bearer bonds.
This is a very engaging film, with young actors who seem to have a lot of chemistry with one another; one truly believes they are friends as they laugh, yell at one another, bicker, and tease. David Suchet is immaculate as Leo, calm and deadly, but this group is something he hadn't quite bargained for.
"Foolproof" is enjoyable, suspenseful, and moves quickly. Highly recommended. You'll be surprised - it's a small movie, but it pays some big dividends.
