WELCOME TO COLLINWOOD

> home | dvd reviews | dvd archive  

Released by Magna Pacific. Out now to Rent. 

Living in Cleveland ’s seedy East Side are a group of  deadbeat petty crims who think they have come up with the ultimate heist plan. Produced by Stephen Soderburgh and George Clooney Welcome to Collinwood is the debut feature from brothers Anthony and Joe Russo. Full of wry humour the movie tracks the misfortunes of the crooks as they plot their way to a hoped for fortune. The gang include George Clooney as a paraplegic wheelchair bound safecracker, Sam Rockwell (who starred in Clooney’s Confessions of a Dangerous Mind) as arrogant prizefighter Pero, William H. Macy as single dad Riley (who carries his young baby son around with him everywhere), Andrew Davoli plays gigolo Basil and Isiah Washington plays the hip Leon .

Despite a somewhat slow pace the movie certainly entertains and is actually pretty funny, mixing as it does dramatic moments with out and out slapstick and with a cast that also includes Jennifer Esposito, Gabrielle Union and Soderburgh regular Luis Guzman you know you are on solid ground.

EXTRAS include voice-over less behind the scenes footage, cast interviews and a theatrical trailer.
