In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I came into this knowing nothing about it apart from a brief on-screen description. The opening credits gave a clue as to the tone of the story with the cartoons of odd bodies and strange happenings which reminded me a lot of the Pink Panther opening credits. The start was a bit confusing and didn't grab straight away. But as the story evolved I was reminded very much of the movie Clue with all the different characters with who knows what secrets. Its silly, black and funny, and although I wasn't rolling in the aisle it was still an entertaining little movie recommended for light relief.

Why am I rating this nearly mediocre movie so high? Because being different is worth something. The plot seemed to be unique to me. I get tired of the same old plots and plot devices, and this one seemed really strange in a good way, which more than made up for the obvious plot holes and pretty average acting. Some of the script lines were pretty entertaining too. Overall, a short film that I enjoyed because it was so unusual and weird, not because it was great or compelling art. My suggestion is that you're only risking 87 minutes, so you can give it a try, and if doesn't hold your attention, just cut it short. For me personally, it was an unconventional movie that happened to be a pleasant diversion.

The plot: When two very different groups of bank robbers target the same bank, a quirky hostage tries to mediate the conflict, as he finds clues suggesting a greater conspiracy.Flypaper certainly has its faults, but I think it makes up for them with its flashes of humor. The easiest way to describe it is Clue in a bank. Multiple heists go down at the same time, alongside a seemingly unrelated hit. Wacky hijinks follow, with all sorts of quirky characters acting quirky, in a quirky plot, probably written by a quirky author. The characters are all basically stereotypes, but since this is essentially a farce, one could easily argue that they're actually parodies of those stereotypes. The plot itself seems to flirt with constant homage to Clue alongside parody of heist movies. There are also a few references to other movies, such as This Is Spinal Tap.If you're looking for a deep or original movie, this really isn't it. But if you want something that's equal parts Die Hard, The Usual Suspects, and Clue... you're in luck! It was savaged by the critics, but I actually found it to be rather amusing, even if it was predictable and a re-hash of Clue.

I enjoyed this movie. It had a not just twisty, but twisted plot, with a neurotic man pointing out what would have eventually been obvious, but he carries the others along to the discovery of clues to what is going on, and hilariously drives the bank robbers nuts, when they are not doing that to each other. One thing that the other reviewers fail to mention is that this is a very DARK comedy. At the outset of the robbery, someone is killed, the first of many. In some ways this movie is reminiscent of the old Agatha Christie "10 Little Indians" plot line. Bodies keep cropping up, so this is also a murder mystery. Do keep your suspension of disbelief topped off, because you will need it. No outside response to multiple explosions and gunfire is not adequately explained. (And then there's...well, you'll see.) But if you can manage to just go with it, this movie can be very funny. Many lose ends left hanging, but who cares....
