Finding Steve McQueen_720p(480P)

source: Finding Steve McQueen

Started a little bit slow and as one reviewer pointed out Travis Fimmel is getting better at his craft, and I do think he some of the charisma Steve McQueen had. The rest of the main cast is incredible, from Forest Whitaker, William Fichtner, Lily Rabe, and others. As I said it started a bit slow but half way into and it had a definite Ocean's Eleven vibe to it and how the inestigation behind it starts to take the smallest clues makes it an intelligent movie as well. It had a few shockers at the end but I leave it up to the viewers to enjoy. I could definitely watch this multiple times.

So there are no car chase (sorry one), no big explosion (oops, there is one actually), no hot steamy erotic scene (none, really), no bloodshed (not a drop), no body count (not even a broken arm). It's funny, entertaining, good soundtrack, a couple of scenes could have been slightly shorter. All in all, if it's not going to make its way to the Oscar, it certainly made its way to my heart.

Everyone loves a good genre film and the heist film is certainly one of Hollywood's favorite charms. A craft as revered as William Goldman and Elmore Leonard. As cool as a Tarantino-curated soundtrack. And why not? Those stories feed into inherent impulses. An underdog sticking it to The Man. The Anybody gambling for a life as a Somebody. Thieving out of sport. Or need. At times, crime does not pay in the glitzy cinematic world. That unlikely hero fails. And falls. Worlds are destroyed. Irreparable harm befalls both innocents and the not-so. Other times? Ah, other times everything simply works out. Based on the startlingly-real but mostly-unreported 1972 United California Bank Robbery, the film Finding Steve McQueen narrates one of the largest bank robberies in US history. Much like the quiet nature of the actual robbery, this underdog film suffered a criminal VOD release instead of well-deserving theatrical accolades. Screenwriter and Southern California News Group reporter Keith Sharon broke the story of Harry Barber - bank robber, getaway man, and Steve McQueen idol - in his Stealing Nixon's Millions expose, later serialized in his true crime podcast Crime Beat. Barber, along with professional-criminal Enzo Rotella (a delightful William Fichtner who brings a meal of prosciutto and provolone along with his SAG credentials) and a crew from Youngstown, Ohio, steal away to Laguna Niguel, CA where, apparently, President Richard Nixon stashed over $30 million; election money absconded from the Dairy Farmers' Association. The robbery was a success but the story, much like this film, went mostly unheard. The film, directed by Mark Steven Johnson, cleverly jumps around in time setting Harry's new small-town life against the daring heist, and the FBI's manhunt, led by a French horn-playing Forest Whitaker. Johnson fashions a more comedic look at the heist genre. More Old Man & The Gun; less Reservoir Dogs. And the style works. Travis Fimmel plays out Barber with equal parts McQueen fetishism and wide-eyed "What, me worry?" enthusiasm. Fimmel sells the role. Barber not only wins the heart of Molly Murphy (Rachael Taylor), but his aw-shucks honesty makes him that perfect Anybody. One that deserves to be a Somebody. Finding Steve McQueen is a fun ride complete with an 8-track's worth of 70s pop-culture references and music. The film weaves to the genre beats yet for all of its real-life incredibleness, doesn't pop those points to their best. Perhaps it's the honesty of the tale, or too much silliness, but the film ultimately downplays the usual genre tropes and regrettably eliminates the amped-up thrill, taming the crime, and restricting the heat between Barber and Murphy. Unusual, ridiculous, honest, fun, Finding Steve McQueen is an entertaining heist flick that successfully steals the time and deserves a happy ending.

If You like early 70s (it's amotsphere), heist movies with loveable characters and slower tempo with finely/shot tuned scenes, You're totally gonna adore this movie. Especially the characters of two brothers. I thoroughly enjoyed how Harry treated his younger (and really simple, yet still devoted and loving) brother. I really enjoyed this movie, like no other in a very, very long time.

This film start with a police officer "Howard" taking off a chopper and a robber "Harry" talking to his girlfriend "Molly" in a restaurant scene! As turnout, this film is about criminal life of Harry disguise as Steve McQueen! The car chasing scene of Harry and the police actually quite dope! The cursing word in the entire film is the only intensity in the film! The flirting scene of Harry and Molly at the beginning quite laughable but felt boring, overuse and childish along the way! The robbery scene not have a single gun shooting scene! Just a tiny explosion! At the end, Harry walk out the restaurant and caught by the police with no struggle at all! That's it! Another disappointed crime film!

"Finding Steve McQueen" actually has nothing really to do with actor Steve McQueen but is still quite entertaining and funny for a B movie. In this crime comedy based on a true story, a gang of thieves attempt to steal millions from Richard Nixon's secret fund. Overall a good film with some smart humour and fun twists. William Fitchner ("Crash") gives a stellar and hilarious performance, he kills his role. I did find that "Finding Steve McQueen" was too dragged out and felt long even at 90-minutes. It's crazy to think that this is a true story and considered the biggest heist in America. It's worth a watch. See it at home or skip it.

Acting is just okay. The story is slow and a little bit messy. No action at all. Cime part is dull and even the romance part is dull, both very boring parts. At the end it is a dull and boring movie with a bad written script/story. They could have made it really nice, but in my eyes it is just short of a total dissaster. Not recommended.

Didn't expect this to be based off a true story.. Funny & actually not bad at all. Always that one simple mistake to ruin a good job that was "almost" well done. They had the right mindset to get the what they wanted, but to put it to action is just straight wrong.
