A Very tight well written movie Before i start off i thought that this movie was very well done i will never understand how this movie didn't make it to theatres
This Movie was about a Con man Ben(Sean William Scott) He has put together a crew of specialists Rikki (Timm Sharp) Ben's good friend, Betty (Suzy Nakamura) a level headed computer Cracker, Jake (Jon Crye) A rough around the edges Demolitions expert, and Jeffrey (Patric Breen) An superstitious safe cracker that suffers from Seizures. Ben is given this Job By Gregory (Lou Diamond Phillips) a crime boss that Has Ben under his Thumb. The Catch with this movie is they have to break into a bank that is located to a popular after hours Dance Club to steal a Chineese Statue that is of great importance To Gregory. Ben plans to cover up his Heist with a Wild Rave Headed by a Less than Stellar DJ (Jody Rasicot). But the Heist is sniffed out By the local Chinese Triad tough guy Jin Sun (Terry Chen) and Ben is Held over a Barrel
As contrived and Mindless as this plot sounds this Movie is actually very well written and the Atmosphere plays a vital part in the story. Usually a movie like this is very Gimmicky it uses the party and Gross out Jokes to make up for Bad writing and direction, this movie dose't succumb to such cheap tricks. Also Sean William Scott Makes a Departure from his Stifler Character he usually Plays; Ben is quite the contrast to Stifler. Ben is a guy that has a lot on his mind not everything works out the way it should unlike Stifler who solves his problems with a smile. While Stifler has a very Devil May Care Attitude Ben is a very serious guy. Another Great part of this movie is the supporting cast Ben's Crew especially the computer expert Betty are very well acted.
Also this movie has very great Villains Gregory (Played By Phillips) is a very great villain i personally think that Phillips is a very underrated actor. Also Jin Sun is great at moving the story along and putting more pressure on the already busy Ben. Unlike other "Party" movies that are more carefree You can feel the pressure that Ben is under. Also many problems arise in the form of a Club Going FBI agent (Played by Dave Foley), A Chinese Food delivery boy, and transvestite dancers that are in danger of short circuiting the whole party.
A Strong part of this Movie is that it is also it's tight directing Daywalt And Schneider do a very good job of keeping up the pace of the movie.
All in all i was very entertained by this movie and I hope to see Sean William Scott in more roles like this
