Flypaper ( 2011 ) - 2 1//2 stars out of 5 stars



Before we begin I have learned there was a earlier film by the same name BUT it has a very different plot line.I took 2 1/2 stars off because the plot is muddled and it didn't show what kind of film it really was in the trailers and sadly,that is a shame and makes it a 50/50 film.Released in 2011 and running 87 minutes it seems to be a very different sort of bank robbery film and with Ashley Judd in it,I gave it a view.Well it was but wasn't.There was a Agatha Christie story called "10 little Indians"and there were a few film versions of it made.Perhaps the film makers didn't want to market it as # 10+ or more,so they gave it this double bank robbery hook.It works in that the film is half way through before you understand what it really is and sadly many may NOT wait that long. So,if you give it time,its fun.Problem is,you shouldn't have to give it that much time.So black dark comedy and mystery fans maybe,everyone else,doubtful.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary is below.
