Review of Setup

Setup (I) (2011)
3/10
Set Up & Let Down
23 September 2011
A modern "Heist" caper, starring Bruce Willis?

Should be good, uh-huh...

I'm legally deaf and far-sighted and I have an IQ that would probably qualify me to be marked down 30% at your local 99-cent store. I only completed two years of high school and when people start talking about things like "character arcs", "long shots", "cutaway", "out-takes", "dailies", etc., regarding the art of film-making, I really have no idea as to what they're talking about.

But even I could make a better movie than this one.

(I do understand what "plot holes" are though - so in addition to those *many* already mentioned, I'll add one more):

Let's do the surreptitious "hot diamonds for money swap" in an out-of-the-way place - like a rooftop parking area - so nobody can watch and get suspicious, OK? Best if we choose one *without* a minimum of 180 windows overlooking it from directly across the street, (yes, I counted), as we saunter around outside the getaway vehicle, dressed in our identical dark coveralls and knit watch-caps while carrying the big black bag of booty and clutching our machine guns. Ya think?
