The Lady Killers - The Movie
I loved it. I highly recommend it.
Tom Hanks and all of the characters were great especially Irma P. Hall. The musical
score was excellent. The Gospel music was a definite treat. If you enjoyed “O
Brother, Where Art Thou?“, this is another great Coen Brothers movie. These guys
most certainly have found that special something about filming in Mississippi.
From Yahoo Movies:
Goldthwait Higginson Dorr III is a charlatan professor who has assembled a gang
of experts for the heist of the century. The thieves are experts in explosions, tunneling
and muscle. The professor is their critical inside man. The base of operations is
the root cellar of an unsuspecting, church-going, little old lady named Mrs. Munson.
The ruse: the five need a place to practice their church music. The problem: it quickly
becomes evident that Dorr’s thieves lack the mental capacity to do the job. The bigger
problem: they have seriously underestimated their upstairs host. When Mrs. Munson
stumbles onto their plot and threatens to notify the authorities, the felonious five
decide to ‘do her in’ before she ruins their heist. After all, how hard can it be
to knock off an old lady? They’ll soon find out.
