Woody Allen's latest comedy follows the misadventures of a couple who plan a daring robbery in New York.
Allen and Ullman are a brilliant match in this well observed piece, highlighting the lack of literacy and the presence of sharp retort as a replacement.
The writing and screenplay is first class and the characters are not only believable but impart a human realism.
The premise is good and the story flows well, basically Allen is a very small time hustler or safe cracker. Ullman tries to keep him on the straight and narrow but always falls for Allen's persuasiveness.
By mistake they become billionaires when their heist goes wrong and their front becomes an overnight hit.
Therefore a distinctively hilarious social comedy of the class system ensues.
The patter is great and ties in the premise very well.
A gem of a movie 10/10
