Like Sir Peter Jackson's superb documentary They Shall Not Grow Old , 1917 is inspired by the exploits of the film-maker's grandfather in "The Great War".
A cracked coming-of-age movie merged with a comic caper, the kind of flip side to “Heat” that the Italian “Big Deal on Madonna Street” was to “Rififi,” “Bottle Rocket” at times seems reminiscent of any number of things, including Donald Westlake’s wonderful Dortmunder mystery novels “Bank Shot” and “The Hot Rock.”
As the intrepid trio gets to work, they challenge the participants of Big Deal on Madonna Street and The Ladykillers for Hall of Fame criminal bumbling.
In an irrestibly dark, comedic take on the gang who couldn't shoot straight, this "Big Deal On Madonna Street" meets "Suspect Zero" launches Irish playwright Martin McDonagh into feature films with flair and literary precision.
