The Bannen Way
(2010)
The Bannen Way is crime caper thriller about Neal
Bannen, a conman who keeps getting himself into trouble. This time, he's
got himself into a whole heap of trouble and is on his third strike. To
get out of it, his father, a police chief, has gorced him into setting up
his uncle, who's a big crime boss. But his uncle has other plans for him
and get Neal to steal a nysterious box from The Mensch, a Jewish crime
kingpin, which he does with the help of a pickpocket Madison (Vanessa
Marcil). That's when it get's a whole lot worse for Neal who must decide
to loyalty to his father or his uncle, while trying to avoid various
lowlifes wanting their own piece of him. Feels very much like a pilot to a
show that never went any further and of course, Neal Bannen is your
typical conman, slick, smart, great with the ladies and always has a trick
up his sleave, so the movie is nothing new (there's a strong whiff of Burn
Notice/Macgyver about it, without the spy angle), but is fun without
really stretching itself.
