Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
At first, Best Laid Plans comes off like yet another all-flash-no-substance crime thriller but it's one of those rare films that end better than they start. Nick (Alessandro Nivola from Face/Off), broke and desperate to get out of his suffocating small town, agrees to take part in a drug heist. When his partners get caught, he has less than a week to come up with $15,000 or suffer the consequences. When his college buddy Brice (Josh Brolin--Flirting with Disaster) comes back to town, Nick and his girlfriend Lissa (Reese Witherspoon) hatch a plan to blackmail Brice out of a rare collectable. Of course, things go wrong--which is where things get entertaining. The plot could use a few more twists to really crackle but the surprises it does have work and the ending is both clever and affecting. Along the way, the best scene features a drug dealer who quotes economic theory from the bible of capitalism, The Wealth of Nations. In the past few years, Reese Witherspoon has turned in superb performances in such varied movies as Freeway, Pleasantville and especially Election; Best Laid Plans doesn't make much use of her talent but she's always watchable. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

- Supurb
Everyone should watch this film, the acting, screenplay and a excellent soundtrack featuring Gomez and a few chilling Craig Armstrong tracks are just a few reasons to watch this film. It's really hard to get, so at this price it's a steal!

Rating:

- Erm.....Not the best
When I begun watching this film I thought that is was quite good, and seeing as it was a Resse Witherspoon film I thought it would be good. I was enjoying it until I got to the end and the "unexpected" twist occured, then the whole film seemed so boring and the twist was so stupid and when I looked back I realised that the film wasnt as good as I had anticipated.

Rating:

- good movie!
This is a really well thought out film, which will keep you on the edge of your seat. The twist does actually come about 15 minutes before the film ends, so perhaps its a bit of an anti climax, but I really enjoyed it and its definetly worth watching
